We put ourselves at risk
With weapons of our own mass destruction
We over habitat and harm out earth with our concrete constructions
We pollute our air land, our land, our seas
Yet we claim we are a sentient species
While using war as a tool to harm and kill humanity
I fail to see how we can be seen as intelligent beings.
The sky may fall in if we do not do something
Earth will be falling in upon us if we do not kick up a fuss
This world, our nature and environment
Is in peril of collapsing around our ears
Yet some still say we are spreading messages of fear
But that’s not our aim, this is not a game
We are looking to ensure brighter greener days for future generations
It’s about brining together every single nation
To strive to protect the most important and precious thing of all
All creatures that were created, the big and the small
It’s about rejecting exploitation and greed
By big corporations who make our earth bleed
So it’s not for pleasure of instilling fear
It’s about protecting this world and earth we hold dear
For this is a debt that we all owe her.
They say to be green we will have give up driving cars and travelling in planes
I hear this time and time again
But tell my does this have to be the case
We just have to source new energy but money and dirty fuel gets in the way
They could find new sources to power these things
Not just battery operating
Hydrogen fuels can do the rounds again
But those who crave wealth don’t see the profit in it
Well it’s time big businesses started to understand
The change is happening, its what people demand
They better get on the right side of history
Fracking, tar and oil, coal and nuclear energy
Are only going one way, they will be obsolete
So get your act together discover new green energies
This is the future, climate ain’t just a fad
If you think you can halt this change then you are mad
The people have woken, future generations have spoken
Are you going to race towards change or are you going to lag
Hoping good policies will fade and that we will go back to more of the same
Ell it’s not going to happen, the shift is here
You can help navigate change forward, we’ll even let you steer
To greener horizons, to environmental bliss
But understand this moment should not be missed.
Sounds of nature echoes forlorn
Replicating an earth that is torn
We need a new hope and dream to be born
Out of the ashes of a shameful dawn
Where mankind abused it through exploitation
And may now suffer as a result of its ramifications
Nature is so beautiful and is pure and of grace
Nature is innocent and also chaste
So don’t let the wonder of it go to waste.
The wind howels and brings down trees
The storm rages and the rain lashes down
Leaves and branches cover the roads and pavement
The wind blows a whooly making a whistling sound
Go outside you’ll get wet in no time, saturated to the skin
Umbrella getting blown inside out, hats go flying down the street
On this stormy wind swept day.
Our house is a mess
It’s in danger of crumbling down around our ears
This is not a message of fear
It’s just one of warning
That with each day of dawing
The over heating and exploiting
Of all its resources
Is going to takes its toll in the end
We are taking care of anything
We’re taking out but not investing
Greedily we’re digesting
Consuming more than can be sustained
Not worried about the future for it’s to far away
Future generations will have to try to change
The damage that we’re doing today.
