1 Sun


We only have 1 Sun, 1 moon 1 me, 1 you And we only have a little time to show how much we love The sun (the sun), The moon (the moon) How much I really love you And we only have a little bit of time (time, time, time) Wake up world Can't you see the earth is crying? Wake up world Can't you see all the clouds are dying? And maybe one day there won't be rainbows Grass won't be green and the sky won't be blue Don't wanna see a cyclone There's no sun, no moon No me, no you Oh, can you take care of her? Oh, maybe you can spare her? Several moments of your consideration Leading up to the final destination Oh, the earth is calling out I wanna learn what it's all about But everything I read's 'Global warming', 'going green' I don't know what all this means But it seems to be saying Wake up, World We're all in this together It's our home so let's take care of it You know that you want to You know that you got to Wake up, World Tomorrow become the new day And everything you do matters Yeah, everything you do matters in some way Stand up and I'll try if you will Wake up, it's not a fire drill All she needs is a little attention Can you give her just a little attention? Oh, it's easy to look away But it's getting harder day by day Tomorrow become the new day And everything you do matters Yeah, everything you do matters in some way I know that you don't wanna hear it Especially coming from someone so young But in the backseat, yeah They wanna hear it (they wanna hear it)
