Climate Change Song Lyrics
Song By: Matt & Joanna Pace
We’ll stop chopping down our trees!
Stop using plastic things!
We’ll carpool and drive EVs
And give back to the Earth we’ve been given
Cut down the milk and meat!
Green power the lights and heat!
We’ll sing this song on repeat
As we do our part for the world that we live in
Earth: I’m Earth, the planet that you’re on, you know
But I’m not feeling so well.
My temperature’s rising, species are dying,
Floods, droughts, and fires
No longer surprising
I’m losing trees and my islands
Slowly disappear
It’s getting harder and harder
To make a home for you here
Factory: Hey Earth, let me break it down for ‘em:
We’re making those greenhouse gasses
Trapping heat in the atmosphere
They come from cars and plastics
Cows and factories here.
We’re burning oil and coal
And all that natural gas
Releasing carbon dioxide and methane
And releasing them fast,
But hey, folks gotta live. Yea!
Earth: People need to live
But look at what you give
To the children after you
You need me - ooh And I need you
Kid 1: Hey! We’ll stop chopping down our trees They absorb carbon dioxide
Kid 2: We’ll switch over to EVs Or carpool or go for a bike ride
Kid 3: We’ll stop using plastic things And take our own bags to the store
Kid 4: Let’s change up the way we eat - a little less milk and meat
Cow: *Burp*
Kid 5: Let’s switch to renewable power unplug and take shorter showers
(But please don’t stop taking showers. That would be gross.)
Kids: Stop chopping down our trees!
Stop using plastic things!
Carpool and drive EVs
And give back to the Earth we’ve been given
Cut down the milk and meat!
Green power the lights and heat!
And sing this song on repeat
As we do our part for the world that we live in
Kids: “Grown-ups, take it away!”
Adults: We can write our governments
And tell them to change
They might say it’s impossible
But we can hold them responsible
And help them to lead in
Cleaner energy
What we do now will reverberate
For centuries!
We’ll stop chopping down our trees!
Stop using plastic things!
We’ll carpool and drive EVs And give back to the
Earth we’ve been given
Cut down the milk and meat!
Green power the lights and heat!
We’ll sing this song on repeat
As we do our part for the world that we live in
(Repeat with EVERYBODY)
And we’ll start today!
Today, today, today, today
We’ll sing this song on repeat
As we do our part for the world that we live in
And we’ll start today
