There’s an elephant in the room
and she isn’t feeling well
The land around is closing in
Rain and heat are acting strange
Food is hard to find

All around. So much dying
Water isn’t where it was
Scratch for food
Search for comfort
Days are long and hard

Our human power is desire
Desire that brought us where we are
Fishes have it. Elephants too
We’ve just learned to make it all come true

Now the planet feels the pain
Death or life
We flip a coin

Things we do can turn the wind
Build a planet where life can win
Let the air go back to clean
Same for oceans, forests, streams

People, we need to change our ways
Change our thinking. All of us. Soon

Stop the extraction, let nature be nature
It’s this or that
And “this” means doom
