Australia

A fire burns within

it can hold it in no more

It explodes with a fury

Of a pain it can hold no more

 

Of a pain it can hold no more

Of an injustice it can bear no more

Of hurts it can silently watch no more

Seeking revenge for fish at its core

 

Seeking revenge for fish at its core

Swimming with plastic in their guts

In its large forgiving embrace

It cannot hold us anymore

 

It cannot hold us anymore

As we turn the other way

As icy glaciers melt

And temperatures soar each day  

 

Will we be tormentor or protector

Seeking change through our actions

Or climate change denier

Helpless at hands of politicians

 

Nature is bigger than us

And needs to stay bigger than us

That’s the only way for it to be

For us to live in harmony
