"A Hole In The Ocean" - Gulf Oil Disaster Song (acoustic original)

Original Song: "A Hole in the Ocean" written by me (Joe Monto). Add me on Facebook!

1st Verse:
The wave crests on fire
And storm clouds below
The oozing dark monster
Creeps silently slow

The heartache of many
The future unclear
We stand on the shoreline
Surrounded by fear


Chorus:

There's a hole in the ocean
That's breaking my heart
When will it end
Why did it start?

Can we ever return
To our blue watered bay
There's a hole in the ocean
That stands in our way


2nd Verse:

For the diving birds diving
And the fish 'neath the waves
There is so much to do
There is so much to save

With bitter tears stinging
For the ones who were lost
Is there really a way
To assess what this cost?

There's a hole in the ocean
That's breaking my heart
When will it end
Why did it start?

Can we ever return
To our blue watered bay
There's a hole in the ocean
That stands in our way

Bridge:

Eleven souls sailing
That April day
It happened so quickly
'Twas no time to pray

the song is awesome, i'd seen some of your other videos (love the carry on my wayward son one) and knew you were a talented musician, but you're also an amazing lyricist!
