lyrics

Balleena!
Caught in holy fire;
Evening light turns the wires
Of that old
Telegraph pole
Slowly to gold;
Roll on, never tire,
You soar skyward,
Sea-bound,
Your rain meets the ground

Balleena!
By the evening blue,
Parent, child, swimming through,
And I bowed
To those two clouds,
Murmured aloud
"Roll on, ever true,
You soar skyward,
Sea-bound,
Your rain meets the ground"

Roll on thunder, driving rain!
Turn in wonder to the sky again;
Cloud and stirling share their news
With the man in the wind
And the flame of your blue fuse

Balleena!
Oceans in the stars.
Whales unwind under Mars,
And that sight
In the pale night:
Orcas in flight-
Sing on, silver bars
You soar skyward,
Sea-bound,
Your rain meets the ground.
