Lyrics

Quit Chasing Moby in the Sea
Lyrics:
Verse 1: In distant seas, where storms and tales entwine,
Ol' Bibi hunts that ghostly whale, divine;
Through depths of fear, he sails indeed through hell , With ivory leg he stands, and yet, to no avail.
Verse 2: Starbuck pleads, the crew's fate to secure
Instead,
Yet A-hab's heart, by vengeance, stays impure.
That golden coin, a loyal crew to bind, But gold can't sway the haunted, stubborn mind.

Pre-Chorus: Hear, oh hear, the wise and tempest song, That sings of peace where all belong.
Chorus: Oh A-hab (Who's the Moby Dick?), steer from wrath's consuming glow,
The whale You hunt your tale of woe.
In pursuit of your foe, conceived from pain and fright,
Lead us not to depths where none again shall ever see the light.
Bridge: Palestine, Gaza,
under ever-watchful skies,
Await the dawn where olive branches
rise.
We dream of peace,
where children can play?
Where foes turn friends today, today, today?
Verse 3: Ishmael's world watches with bated breath, As A-hab sails towards a watery death. "Turn back," they cry, "from hatred's lethal shore," For in its grasp, we lose ourselves and more.
Pre-Chorus: Hear, oh hear, the wise and tempest song, That sings of peace where all belong.
Chorus: Oh A-hab (Who's the Moby Dick?), steer from wrath's consuming glow,
The whale You hunt your tale of woe.
In pursuit of your foe,
Conceived from pain and fright, Lead us not to depths where none again shall ever (ever, ever) see the light.
Outro: (Let's have an instrumental--saxophone fades out, leaving a lingering note of hopeful resolution)
