Our beautiful blue planet is in pain;
Rebuffing failed attempts to put things right,
climate change but exacerbates the strain.
The Earth will never be the same again,
and because Man claimed it as His birthright;
Our beautiful blue planet is in pain.
Destruction was wrought for so little gain,
mountains leveled, and forests set alight;
climate change but exacerbates the strain.
Earth's oceans were raped, its wildlife was slain,
and due to Man's greed and lack of foresight;
Our beautiful blue planet is in pain.
Melting permafrost releases methane
as the arctic ice fields reflect less light;
climate change but exacerbates the strain.
Earth's rivers and lakes, thanks to acid rain,
empty, as clear as glass; no fish in sight.
Our beautiful blue planet is in pain;
climate change but exacerbates the strain.
