HELEN HENDERSON: Lyrics

WHALE

The Maoris say whale & man are one
The God man rode to NZ on the back of whale
He was called the Whale rider...

RIDE WITH ME INTO THE WATER
HOLD ON TIGHT NEVER LET ME GO
ONLY ONE SO PURE OF HEART
WOULD BE BRAVE ENOUGH I KNOW

DONT BE AFRAID
I DONT WANT TO HURT YOU
OR CARRY YOU TO THE DEPTHS BELOW

THEY WILL HUNT US
THEY WILL FEED US TO THE WOLVES
STOP YOUR DREAMING 
OR WE WILL ALL BE KILLED
WE ARE TOGETHER........
YOU ARE LIVING
IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE

WER'E AS OLD AS HEAVEN
AS BLUE AS OCEAN SNOW

YOU ARE LIVING
IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE

WE SPEAK FROM WISDOM
WE SPEAK BECAUSE WE KNOW

YOU ARE LIVING 
IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE

RIDE WITH ME
INTO THE WATER
WE KNOW THE WAY
IT'S WRITTEN IN OUR BONES
HEAR OUR SONG
SONS AND DAUGHTERS
REMEMBER WHERE 
YOU HAVE COME FROM


      Henderson/McGrath 01/2002
