?1984 Sarah Pirtle
I first heard this lovely song sung by my daughter Christina Muir in 1992.?I learned it on the spot.?The whale is just one of the many species which is threatened with extinction within my lifetime, but many creatures need our concern.?I hope we all do what we can to preserve a quiet place, a home where each one can survive and thrive before it's too late.?Thanks to Sarah Pirtle's song we can sing one of them home.?(AMM)
Sometimes I feel like I am
a whale
Guns and harpoons are
closing on me
Trying to keep me from my
home.
牋牋牋牋牋?Chorus:
牋牋牋牋牋?In that quiet place where nothing can harm you
牋牋牋牋牋?In that quiet place we carry inside the heart of the
world,
牋牋牋牋牋?Heart of the world.
Sometimes I hope that
there is an ocean
Hold her big arms open to
me
And she whispers "You
can rest."
Sometimes I hope that
there is a whale
Calling me out to ride on
her back
And we go rolling high and
low.
That Quiet Place is recorded on the album Language
of the Heart
