Change the World

    Regeneration

    2020

    The news is good (have you not heard?)
    For every insect, beast and bird
    The Great Extinction’s turning ’round
    The seeds of change found fertile ground

    The barren fields are set to bloom
    The rivers sparkling crystal clear
    New forests rise up from the gloom
    The wild calls out for all to hear

    The colour’s back in coral reefs
    We heed the words of tribal chiefs
    The farms are making healthy soil
    The sun and wind’s replacing oil

    The news is good (don’t you agree?)
    Nature’s back, it’s not too late
    Across the land, the air and sea
    We let the Earth regenerate
