Future In The Balance

It's time to take a stand,

For our future's in the sand,

Our kids will have to pay,

For our missteps of today.

The climate is a-changing,

And the world is rearranging,

Our oceans are a-rising,

And our glaciers are a-dwindling.

The birds and bees are dying,

Our forests are a-frying,

Our air is getting thick,

And the ice sheets are so thin.

The deserts are a-blooming,

Our oceans are a-booming,

The coral reefs are dead,

And the sea levels are a-spreading.

It's time to take a stand,

For our future's in the sand,

Our kids will have to pay,

For our missteps of today.
