about

Facing the impacts of climate change, young people are faced with a difficult choice.

lyrics

Poison in the water, poison in the air
Poison in the hardened hearts of billionaires
Who raped our planet and left it to bleed
And who sacrificed our future to feed their great greed Do we want to bring a child into this world?
Do we want to bring a child into this worn out world?
Are we in the final days of the Anthropocene
Do we have to search this earth for the last patch of green? If we raised one up when it’s all falling down
When our dreams all seemed to be scattered on the ground
Do we want to bring a child into this world?
Do we want to bring a child into this worn out world?

If we raised a tiny person
Would it look back at us
Raging and cursing
And coughing up toxic dust?
Would they stand half a chance
With what we left for them
Or with the gift of time
Would they somehow find
A way back again?
Do we want to raise a child into this world?
Do we want to raise a child into this worn out world?
