The world is turning around me Revolving, evolving and all I see Are the changes taking place, Brought about by our race. We know the world is warming We see it howling and storming We hear it calling and bawling As we see our trees and forest falling. Yet we still continue to emit And still we cannot admit That the changes are our fault Even if our emissions could halt. If only our humanity could grow While letting climate change slow. Then we can let our children live A future life that only we can give. Let us make sure that the present In the future will not be spent. We must redirect our growth. Let us all make that our oath. We can effectively work together And responsibly keep our weather. It is time to get off the coal and oil Or else we may certainly have to boil. We can live within nature's source Let that be our re-directed course Harvesting the wind, water and sun We can make sure that this is done! While we are living beyond our means This cannot be good for our teens So in the name of our youth I really want to speak the truth. Leaders be bold and strong Or else we will say "so long." We'll remove you from office And make up for your losses. We will redirect our Earth And encourage its rebirth. I believe in our transformation We can end our fossil fixation. With or without our learning, The world will keep on turning Yet I will not let myself despair For this Earth is really my affair.
