Climate Emergency
About this song
We wrote this song to spell out what everybody knows. We are in a climate emergency and our house is on fire. Climate extremes are witnessed all around the world with severe impacts on all living creatures and ecosystems.
Our influence as individuals is small. However, this song outlines steps what you can do to make sure the earth stays on the nice side of the tipping points. Spend your money wisely, team up to create you own food security and examine your own carbon footprint. Let’s wake up, work towards a circular economy and phase out the use of fossil fuels.
Together, our actions make a difference.
We ain’t got time to sit around to wait and see.
What will it take to wake up
Emissions to stop
We can’t go on
What we are doing is wrong
This is a Climate Emergency
We ain’t got time to sit around to wait and see
We need a Circular Economy
And net zero emissions energy
Think about what you can do
To roll the ball in the right direction
What difference it makes
Where your money goes
Let’s all use our brains
for a bit of reflection
This is about our future generations’ woes
What will it take to wake up
Emissions to stop
We can’t go on
What we are doing is wrong
This is a Climate Emergency
We ain’t got time to sit around to wait and see
We need a Circular Economy
And net zero emissions energy
Let’s look after each other and grow our food
Like sisters and brothers in the neighbourhood
Count our personal emissions to know where we stand
Protect the rivers, the trees and the land
What will it take to wake up
Emissions to stop
We can’t go on
What we are doing is wrong
This is a Climate Emergency
We ain’t got time to sit around to wait and see
We need a Circular Economy
And net zero emissions energy
Let’s talk to each other and paint the vision
Quit fossil fuels and make decisions
There are many ways to get this right
Let’s get on board
Let’s get on board
Let’s get on board
Let’s get on Board
