Invest To Save the Planet

The fires rage thought out the bush
yet still we do not listen
The ozone layers depleted
rising heat in play 

Teach the people saving 
teach a better way
create a solar planet
clean air now everyday

Venice it is sinking the
ice caps melt away
the ocean, it is rising 
some Islands sink away

Electric cars for driving
if rich men buy them new
they'ed filter down to others
clean air, then coming through

Governments with budgets 
could plan, invest in jobs 
creating work for others 
with forestry and logs

Trees then filter carbon
creating air to breath
creating air for breathing
seems the thing to me

Stop the wars and fighting
your planets life needs your aid 
come together working 
don't build the horror rage

Save and work together 
invest, creating work
farms with crops and harvests 
also, clean the breeze a new 

Reduce the kids you're having
just two of them would do
the human's growths enormous 
our planet just can't cope

The oceans now depleted
the sickness creeping through
come together saving
Invest in fishing farms

replenish then our oceans 
creating food for you
creating healthy oceans 
would be the thing to do

Invest and come together
It's not that hard to do 
work, to save your planet
It is the thing to do

I've said to many others
for just a tenner each
invest in farms and oceans 
invest in solar power 

invest in clean technology 
invest, in air to breath
invest create employment 
invest creating wealth

If Governments and church
if synagogue's and mosque's  
if people came together
invest creating jobs

We could build a healthy planet
and live among the snob's
wealthy men build companies 
creating work for you

become a wealthy person 
and you can do it too
to build a shop MacDonald's
would cost a million bucks

I don't have, that money
I guess, like most of you
but if a million people, invest ten dollars each 
it becomes ten million dollars 

creating jobs for you
invest it is the answer
to build a better life 
build a healthy planet

and make a happy wife
with money in her budget
she can feed the starving child
with food, now in its belly

The child laughs and plays
add to that then dancing
and wars might go away
as people that are happy

don't need to immigrate
the problems of this planet
might start to dissipate
as people that have money

Will spend it on their food
with jobs that make them prouder
there is no need for feuds
teach the people working 

to build economies
to make a healthy planet
and satisfy their needs

That's just it Caren, we can all invest, I'm not a rich person but if the world, built groups, we could all save and invest together, if a million people put in a dollar, it becomes a million dollars, building solar power is not impossible, building desalination plants, is not impossible, working together, we can all invest,
