Let us unite for climate justice
mother nature deserves just ease
don’t just go with the flow
see judge act as you grow
ignore each distraction
turn it into a proper fraction
ignite a speedy traction
take responsibility full action
feel the sun caressing your skin
peel the fun out of a banana’s pin
intertwine with earth’s rhythm it’s beat
interline with the line of trees in a street
it’s more important than the sale of gold
yet we kill them for some temporary cold
that’s getting old
do you believe that’s bold?
believing what’s sold and not what’s told?
let us unite and strive to safeguard god’s creation
