Make it Right (In the Gulf of Mexico)

Please don’t tell us this is so
In the Gulf of Mexico
They just let that oil go
In the Gulf of Mexico

1) Life will never be the same
Many birds and fish are slain
Two letters in their name
Made our brothers die in pain

Please don’t tell us this is so
In the Gulf of Mexico
They just let that oil go
In the Gulf of Mexico


2) Now the people cry because
we have lost our world that was
And the loss of human life
have we lost our paradise?

Please don’t tell us this is so
In the Gulf of Mexico
They just let that oil go
In the Gulf of Mexico

Workin’ clean up day and night
In the Gulf of Mexico
We’ve just got to Make it Right
In the Gulf of Mexico
America's wetlands are dying, weary fishermen are crying
black beaches once were white, seabirds never taking flight
and we're suffering through the dark night, we've just got to make it right

3) We just can’t stand by and wait
Gotta save the wildlife from this fate
Give it all, it’s not too late
Heal with love and not with hate

4) So we take the strength within
For the clean up to begin
And together we can win
birds and fish come back again

5) until then we all will toil
as we’re cleaning up the oil
We are sad but we are strong
We will make a right from wrong!
Please don’t tell us this is so
In the Gulf of Mexico
They just let that oil go
In the Gulf of Mexico

Workin’ clean up day and night
In the Gulf of Mexico
We’ve just got to Make it Right
In the Gulf of Mexico
