Gasping, acrid gas and smoke; drapes my body like a cloak; squeezing life to slowly choke; I speak the truth, this is no joke. No-more, the green and pleasant land; sun-scorched scar of desert sand; it’s time for you to take a stand; my future lies within your hands. It burns my soul, it boils my blood; you’ll see my tears bring on the flood; if only I were understood; you can help me, if only you would! My tears will fall and oceans rise; more tears are falling from the skies; some think that these are wicked lies; believe in me, real are my cries. No oceans blue, dead skeleton reef; plastic hell beyond belief; help me out, turn a new leaf; put an end to all this grief. I’m cracking under pressure and shaking to the core; stop this global warming – I can’t take any more; please help us to take action, and we will win the war; you must help your world, or your world will be no more...
