The Dolphin Promise
(Ron Hiller/RONNO, Judy Millar © 2007 Song Support/SOCAN)

This song is a farewell for the freshwater
Dolphin known as Baiji. They once
thrived in a river in China, but sadly,
they now seem to be extinct.

Rare river dolphin
Swimming no more
Beautiful Baiji
We miss you so
Other great creatures
May perish too
We will protect them
We promise you

Chorus:
They may soar through the air
Or swim in the sea
Graze in the grasslands
With their own families
They may run like the wind
Or climb tallest trees
They deserve to live happily
Just like you, and like me

Endangered species
We understand
You need clean water
You need good land
You have no voices
What can you do?
We will speak for you
We promise you

Chorus:
If you soar through the air
Or swim in the sea
Graze in the grasslands
With your own family
If you run like the wind
Or climb tallest trees –
My heart beats for you
As it beats inside me
