Gaia

This is our time to reflect
This is our time to rebuild what’s left
All the scars
We left in this world
Leaving me blind
Purpose declined
So Is this a scene right out of a dream
Respect all beings
I won’t give in
So who do you want to be
In the face of this tragedy?
So tell me, is it right or wrong
To stand up
To speak up
Just stand up
So tell me is it wrong or right
They can’t stop our will to fight
Want you all to see
What we all could be
Face the truth to set us free (set us free)
Want you all to see
What we all could be
Take the chance to change our legacy (legacy)
This is our time to shine
So face me
Disgrace me
Throw me in the dirt of your shame
So face me
Disgrace me
This is our time to reflect
This is our time to connect
Our vessel, our life
Our mother, our world
The truth must be heard
So is this a risk
That you’re going to take?
Our vessel is broken
So is this a risk
That you’re willing to hold?
This is the truth to be told
Want you all to see
What we all could be
Face the truth to set us free (set us free)
Want you all to see
What we all could be
Take the chance to change our legacy (legacy)
This is our time to shine
So face me
Disgrace me
Throw me in the dirt of your shame
So face me
Disgrace me
You are not mature enough to tell it like is
Even that burden you leave to us children
But I don’t care about being popular. I care about climate justice and the
living planet
Our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number
of people to continue making enormous amounts of money. Our biosphere is being
sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury
It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few
You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their
future in front of their very eyes
Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is
politically possible, there is no hope
We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis
