[Claps

Whispers]

We were wrong

We hurt each other

But as long as we live

We can change (hey!)

Cannons in the eyes of children

Still flags

Never trees

We pray to the sky

We kill time

And the earth twists

Rears up

We fill the air with our anger

We drain the water of its light

Tell me

What is the use of your victory

If even the flowers have no more story?

We tear ourselves apart for a kingdom of dust

While everything burns beneath our prayers

Fight for life

Not for war (oh!)

For a land that breathes

A proud land

Raise your hands

Let love be your boundaries

Shout louder than the bombs in prayer

Fight for life

For ecology

For every tree

Every breath

Every rain

Let your courage become healing

Change the battle

Change your reason

We sign pacts like promises

That we let die on a desk

We sell the sea

We break the nests

And we’re surprised there are no more birds

But in the streets

In the schools

A spark still holds

Tell me

What world for your children?

A field of ruins or a living garden?

We can choose to arm our hearts with kindness

To turn the guns toward our fears

Fight for life

Not for war (oh yes!)

For a land that breathes

A proud land

Raise your hands

Let love be your boundaries

Shout louder than the bombs in prayer

Fight for life

For ecology

For every tree

Every breath

Every rain

Let your courage become healing

Change the battle

Change your reason

Stamp your foot

Let the ground rise up

Clap your hands

Let hatred be silent

One voice

Two voices

A whole people rises

To protect what remains

What we have left (oh)

Fight for life

Not for war

For a land that breathes

A proud land

Raise your hands

Let love be your boundaries

Shout louder than the bombs in prayer

Fight for life

For ecology

For every tree

Every breath

Every rain

Let your love become revolution

Change the battle

Change your song.
