lyrics lyrics
THE WORLD IS MY HOME AND IT IS BURNING
The fire is big, it's small maybe
A hummingbird, named Kolibri
It flaps its wings up and down
With drops of water
The answer to those who stop and watch, to those who ask
"I'm doing my best."
The world is my home and if it burns
I also say what I saw "
Forests are burning everywhere
200 living species disappear in one day
You're used to the hose, warming, saddle
Glaciers are melting, abnormally
Don't cut down trees, don't pollute the sea
Enough don't produce more plastic anymore.
Whales, birds are full of your garbage
They have a right to life, listen to their voice
Your fossil fuel age is enough, it must end now,
Zero carbon emissions must be urgently passed
Listen to the banks, the markets, the government
It's the climate emergency, declare it
The fire is big, it's small maybe
A hummingbird, named Kolibri
It flaps its wings up and down
With drops of water
The answer to those who stop and watch, to those who ask
“I'm doing my best.
The world is my home and if it burns
I also say what I saw "
You have options, it's still not too late
Use clean energy, it's fair
Sun, wind, sea and trees
When there is still time, act now
No cape waiting for the hero
They have no muscles, no scepter, no wings
He's the boy next to you, telling the truth
Talking, resisting…. is rebelling.
Consume, slaughter, how far,
It turns to you, it hurts to me
Science showing you, let me
Listen, think, turn, change
The fire is big, it's small maybe
A hummingbird, named Kolibri
It flaps its wings up and down
With drops of water
The answer to those who stop and watch, to those who ask
“I'm doing my best.
The world is my home and if it burns
I also say what I saw "
EARTH IS MY HOME, IT'S CALLING
Trees are burning, the flames are higher
A little hummingbird, above the fire
Flying up and down to sea to carry more
Drops of water to end the fire
People watch and ask "what you're doin '?"
Her answer's “Well, I'm doing the best I can.
Earth is my home and it's calling
Truth happening, I'm about to tell "
Forests are burning and crippling, everywhere,
200 creatures go extinct in a single day,
The storms, floods and heat- you're used to now,
Glaciers are melting. You think it's normal, how?
Cutting down the trees, stop littering
Isn't that enough plastic you are creating?
The eyes of whales and seabirds are hollow,
They all have the right to live, so listen hello!
Stop feeding into the cycle of fossil fuel,
Zero carbon emissions should be your tool,
Banks, markets, governments! Now is your chance
Declare Climate Emergency! Just take a stance
Trees are burning, the flames are higher
A little hummingbird, above the fire
Flying up and down to sea to carry more
Drops of water- to end the fire
People watch and ask "what you're doin '?"
Her answer's “Well, I'm doing the best I can.
Earth is my home and it's calling
Truth happening, I'm about to tell "
You still have options, it's not too late
Use clean, natural energy, that's fair
Presence of the Sun, breeze, oceans and trees
Take action now, can still be with ease
Don't wait for a hero, she's got no cape
No muscles, no wand, no wings to take
Child next to you has been telling the truth
Resisting the fiction, rebelling for that truth.
Consume, waste, slaughter but up to what point?
Understand the facts before it becomes a disappointment
It's science, it's real, pay attention
For the future and change for earth's protection
Trees are burning, the flames are higher
A little hummingbird, above the fire
Flying up and down to sea to carry more
Drops of water- to end the fire
People watch and ask "what you're doin '?"
Her answer's “Well, I'm doing the best I can.
Earth is my home and it's calling
Truth happening, I'm about to tell "
