Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the temperatures
Round you have grown
And accept it that soon
We’ll be burned to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start thinkin’
Beyond your tombstone
For the climate is a-changin'

Come writers and sceptics
Who undermine with your pens
And keep spreading lies
Then repeat them again
The denier’s a tool
When their paid for their spin
And there’s no doubting
Who’s doing the payin’
But the science shows clear
As the data comes in
That the climate is a-changin’

Come all politicians
Please look down the road
Don’t stand on the wrong side
When touting for votes
For we all get hurt
When you hide or you stall
The battle outside’s ragin'
It’ll take more than pledges
Or cowards or fools
For the climate is a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And work with your eyes
And your hearts and your hands
Your sons and your daughters
Have much to withstand
Our planet is rapidly warmin’
We haven’t a new one
If you don’t take a stand
For the climate is a-changin'

The line’s not yet drawn
And the curse not yet cast
We can slow it down now
But we have to act fast
For the worst case scenario
Coming to pass
It is not that the Earth turns to wasteland
But us wasting the last chance
To put it to rights
For the climate is a-changin'
