Truth to power, look around you fools.
The planet is dying and you’ve weaken the rules.
Lawmakers, businessman and cynics be warned.
‘Cause Mother Earth has sadly been scorned.
You have pillaged her assets, poisoned the air
and now all our glaciers are in this despair.

How long will the butterfly randomly fly by?
With our temperatures rising so high.
And What will our future soon be,
as we continue to pollute the sea?
Ten thousand trees are cut to the ground,
and we are left to cast around…

Truth to power, look around, you fools.
The planet is dying and you’ve weaken the rules.
The Honeybee struggles and red tide thrives.
When who and what is to survive?
The ocean warms, the coral reefs bleach,
The whales and seals are dying on the beach.

How long will the butterfly randomly fly by?
With our temperatures rising so high.
And what will our future soon be
as we continue to pollute the sea?
Ten thousand trees are cut to the ground,
and we are left… to cast around…

Truth to power, look around you fools.
The planet is dying and you’ve weaken the rules.
Coal is over, it’s time to changeover.
Let the wind mills spin, it will make us grin.
Solar power will be our horsepower.
It can be our superpower. Let’s save our planet,
or we will go the way of the Titanic.

How long will the butterfly randomly fly by?
With our temperatures rising so high.
And what will our future soon be
as we continue to pollute the sea?
Ten thousand trees are cut to the ground,
and we are left… to cast around…
