Sea never dry

Do you think there’ll ever be changes

in the way the economy’s run?

Do you think they’ll ever see the misery and degradation

their political system has sown?

Do you think there’ll ever be changes

in the way the government’s run?

When you perpetuate prejudice by colour or creed,

how can such harm be undone?

But you turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”

Do you think there’ll ever be changes while we’re still alive?

Or do we look to the next generation

to look back in horror

at what our lack of humanity’s done?

But you turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”

Sea never dry, sea never dry

You turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”

Do you think there’ll ever be changes?

Do you think it can be easy and clean?

Or will government’s acts of complicity

push instability toward a bloody insanity?

So how can there be a solution

with a system of minority rule,

and laws that provide or discriminate according to colour?

It’s suicidal and senseless!

But you turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”

Sea never dry, sea never dry

You turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”

Oh, you turn to me with a tear in your eye, say, “Sea never dry!”
