“Hole in the Ocean” was written written by Joe Monto & Steve Bartlett to keep the focus on the BP oil spill disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. This is already the largest environmental disaster in United States history, and the oil is still gushing out of the oil well.
The song is dedicated to the 11 men who lost their lives on the Deepwater Oil Rig on April 20th, 2010.
The words to ” Hole In The Ocean” are:
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?
Bridge:
Eleven souls sailing
That April day
It happened so quickly
‘Twas no time to pray
