You may think on business and despair
See it’s ugly face of greed laid bare
How it chokes the seas and fouls the air
And the workers’ lot is never fair
But there’s another story being told
Of a smarter way and leaders bold
Of fresh purpose starting to unfold
And business breaking from the mould
It’s a tale of seeing with new eyes
And of commerce learning to be wise
Where there’s innovation on the rise
And trust beyond what money buys
For when business cares it regenerates
And changes what it risks and rates
It begins to give more than it takes
And reinvents the world it makes
When nature thrives and people grow
Returns for business start to flow
As those who reinvest will know
The future reaps the seeds we sow
You may think on business and take heart
For a better way is ours to chart
We all have our roles, we play our part
But there’s no time to lose, so make a start
