The Crash We Have Chosen

The ice is breaking where it used to stand,
The oceans rise and swallow up the land.
The forests burn beneath a crimson sky,
And we just watch it all keep passing by.

The seasons shift, but not the way they should,
The heat now lingers deep inside the wood.
The rivers shrink or flood beyond their shore,
We feel the change but still we ask for more.

(Chorus)
This is the crash we have chosen to see,
We knew for years and let it always be.
The seas run toxic, every tide runs black,
We drink our plastic, there’s no turning back.
Factories bleed their poison in the rain,
The fish are choking on the human stain.
We feed on garbage that we failed to shun,
This is the crash, and there’s nowhere to run.

The cities choke on smoke we cannot see,
A quiet poison in the air we breathe.
The storms grow stronger every passing year,
Yet still we mask the problem with fear!

The children ask what kind of world remains,
If all we leave behind is loss and pain!
Their voices echo truths we can’t ignore,
A fragile hope worth fighting for once more.

(Bridge)
So take a stand before the silence grows,
Before the last of what we love just goes.
We hold the power trembling in our hands,
To heal the earth or lose it where it stands!
We lit the fire, but we can choose the flame
To turn it down or let it spread the same
A single spark can heal or devastate
The choice is ours, before it is too late

This is the crash we have chosen to see,
We knew for years and let it always be.
The seas run toxic, every tide runs black,
We drink our plastic, there’s no turning back.
Factories bleed their poison in the rain,
The fish are choking on the human stain.
We feed on garbage that we failed to shun,
This is the crash, and there’s nowhere to run.
