The wind roars, the earth shakes.
The trees tremble, the waves break.
The mountains tower, the wolves howl.
The seas part, the bears growl.
The eagle soars, the sun shines.
The fish jump, the dog whines.

The trash is dumped, the oil spills.
The fish suffer, it's in their gills.
The plastic floats, it's out to sea.
The penguins die, for they can't breathe.
The forests ruined, the trees cut down.
The plants can't grow, there's no good ground.

We have one earth, one system, one chance.
It's being destroyed, now we must act.
