"The Climate is changing" -- a song on climate change
We're grateful to Bridget Walker for sharing this song, which she recently wrote. A special tune has been composed for it, or you can sing it to the tune of "The Ash Grove"
The climate is changing,
The ice caps are melting
The waters are rising ………..what can we do?
So many are fleeing
From cyclones and flooding,
Their islands submerging……………….what can they do?
Our carbon emissions
Increase global warming.
The poor are those paying……………….for damage we do.
Our companies are logging
Their forests, destroying
Their old ways of living………………….what can they do?
The prospect’s appalling,
Our leaders are stalling,
So now we are calling……………….for action from you.
We must begin acting
To stop the exploiting
Of earth and its beings………….this we can do.
The people are rising
And they are demanding
Sustainable living……………………….and action from you.
So join the campaigning,
Together we’re striving
For just, equal sharing ………………..in all that we do
(repeat) …………………………..yes, this we can do.
