Yeah, hear the beat drop low, a gentle sway
Thinkin' 'bout the planet, every single day
Blue skies turnin' hazy, where did we go wrong?
This ain't just a moment, it's been goin' on too long
From the deepest oceans to the mountain's peak
A delicate balance, lessons we should seek
This Earth, our home, a jewel so bright and rare
Gotta open our eyes, gotta show that we care.
'Cause this is our world, unique and grand
A vibrant canvas held within our hand
Our footprint matters, every step we take
For future whispers, for goodness sake
We gotta rise up now, let our voices ring
For the generations, the hope that they bring.
Used to listen to the whispers, "business as usual," they'd say
"Growth at all costs," blindly leading us astray
But the trees are talkin', the ice caps meltin' slow
The rivers are risin', tellin' us where to go
It's time to tune 'em out, those outdated tunes
No more excuses under pale, complacent moons
The science is clear, the signs are in plain sight
It's on us to fix it, to make the future bright.
'Cause this is our world, unique and grand
A vibrant canvas held within our hand
Our footprint matters, every step we take
For future whispers, for goodness sake
We gotta rise up now, let our voices ring
For the generations, the hope that they bring.
Fear of change, it’s a heavy, silent drag
But look around you, we're building a better flag
A new tomorrow, cleaner, fresh, and bold
A story of action, bravely to unfold
It might feel different, unfamiliar ground
But the peace in your heart, it will truly astound.
No regrets for tomorrow, only thanks we'll find
For the changes we made, for the peace of mind
The air we're breathing, the beauty we embrace
A living legacy, leaving no trace… of harm.
Yeah, for us, for them, for the world, warm and calm.
