Lyrics
They do not fight for their rights,
or complain about the weather or politics.
They live in the cage entire life, and gone when they are ask to leave.
Bridge: Forbearing, silent friends.
They love when you love, they do not hate when you do.
They do not speak but they know when do you want to eat them .
Nobody wants to see their homes with glass walls.
Nobody wants to see them in private.
Bridge: Forbearing, silent friends.
Chorus: What have we done? What have we done?
We've killed the mother whale, didn't ask what she had to say.
What have we done? We've emptied ocean's lands, we fed the cows with fish shells.
People say we can use them as we please.
I think we own them little hug and kiss.
We fight for our rights but we forget about their rights
We fight for our precious rights but forget to give them to all.
Bridge: Forbearing, silent friends.
