1. I buried my head
Deep in the sand
Much too afraid
To understand
That we’re dying out
From fires and drought
Less we build a better world
One planet for all

Refrain
The future’s ours, the path is clear
We have to act, right now, right here!
Stop climate change, lots to be done
Saving the earth needs everyone!

2. Tears in my eyes
Washed out the sand
Much time’s been lost
Please take my hand
We are not alone
Our courage has come
Now we build a better world
One planet for all

Refrain

3. Common sense reigns
Justice for all
Oceans are clean
Our footprint small
No hunger, no fear
Our vision is clear
This will be our better world
One planet for all

Refrain

4. We’re standing up
A growing crowd
We’ve had enough
We’re here and loud
We stay together
We’ll break any wall
And gain back our future:
One planet for all

1. We are here, and we’ll be loud!
We’ve a message to get out
Listen now, then raise your voice –
“We need change, we have no choice!”
Climate Justice is our aim
for we’ve got a World to gain.
Pay the price for damage done.
Frequent fliers – stop your fun!

Chorus
Hear us old and young –
hear there’s something going wrong.
Let’s show true remorse.
Change from our destructive course.
Fossil Fuels must go!
They are bad. You have to know
there are better means.
Solutions that are safe and clean.

2. Get the message to the folk
“Global warming is no joke!”
Tell them loud and tell them clear
(we’ve) got to hold our Planet dear
Posters in your window pane.
March outside, despite the rain.
Chalk Graffiti, paint it tall.
Post it on your social wall.

Chorus

Refrain (2x)
Climate Justice [Stamp 3x]
Climate Justice [Clap 3x]
Climate Justice [Thigh-slap 5x]
We want Justice!

3. We’ve got 3 demands for you.
Tell the Truth, you have to do!
Act now, or apocalypse!
Citizen based Politics!
Drop the debt, for countries poor.
Give them better chances or
live with shame for what we’ve done –
1st World harmed while 3rd World gone.

Chorus

4. Solutions, they do exist.
Here’s some from the Drawdown list:
H-F-Cs, they’ve had their hour;
Wind turbines or Solar Power;
Reduce Food Waste; Plant a Tree;
Wave and Tidal energy;
Coastal wetlands; Build with wood;
Plant-rich diets; Mass Transit.

Chorus

5. System change we need it “Now”
Here some thoughts to show you how:
Divest! Degrowth! Consume less!
Greed and Finance caused this mess!
Fast fashion, you’re out of style
Trips in planes? No! Tax air-miles!
Slow down! Nature, take it in
Count your blessings, protect them.

Refrain

Music: Ben & Franziska Newman

Out where the river broke
The bloodwood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degrees

The time has come
to say fair’s fair
to pay the rent,
to pay our share
The time has come,
a fact’s a fact
it belongs to them
let’s give it back

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while Australia’s burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while Australia’s burning?

The time has come
to say fair’s fair
to pay the rent now,
to pay our share

Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore, east to Yuendemu
The Western Desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degrees

Nuclear dumps / Chemical swamps
Kids get killed in a rain of bombs
You got blood on your face / The war crime stays
Weapons are sold all over the place

We will / We will Rock you
We will / We will Rock you

The world runs hot / So we must stop
Burning coal, gas, oil and kerosene
Dollars in your eyes / While nature dies ->->
And you think about financial paradise

We will / We will Rock you
We will / We will Rock you

Killing the bees / Plastic in the seas
Extinction is a fact but governments don’t act
You got lies in your mouth/you spit them out ->->
and you don’t care that the planet gets knocked out.

We will / We will Rock you
We will / We will Rock you

Polluting the air until we can’t repair
Rivers that die / So we should cry
You got blood on your face / Big disgrace ->->
Somebody better put you back into your place

We will / We will Rock you
(Sing it)
We will / We will Rock you
(Everybody)

We will / We will Rock you
We will / We will Rock you
(All right)

New Lyrics: XR Switzerland
Original Music: Queen

There comes a time
When we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
Life on Earth is dying
Oh, and it’s time to lend a hand
to life, the greatest gift of all

We can’t go on
Pretending day-by-day
When each one, wherever, can make a change  
We are all a part of one great big family
And the truth, you know, life is all we need

We are the world
We are the children
We all can help here for the needed change, so let’s start acting
There’s a choice we’re making
Defending life on Earth
It’s true we’ll have a better chance if we all rise

Oh, send them your heart
So they know that we’re all scared
That our lives are now endangered
As we’ve waited too long
for governments to act
And so we all must rise and rebel

We are the world
We are the children
We all can help here for the needed change, so let’s start acting
There’s a choice we’re making
Defending life on Earth
It’s true we’ll have a better chance if we all rise

When you’re down and out,
there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe as long as there is life
There is a chance
And a change can only come
When we stand together as one (yeah, yeah, yeah)

We are the world (we are the world)
We are the children (we are the children)
We all can help here for the needed change, so let’s start acting
There’s a choice we’re making 3x
Defending life on Earth
It’s true we’ll have a better chance if we all rise
(everybody with us!)

New Lyrics: XR Switzerland
Original Music: Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie

A new century
Many humans there
On a sick planet
Where money has power

More trash and waste
Than any place could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair   oh

I send an SOS to the world (2x)
I hope that someone gets my (3x)
Message in a bottle (2x)

A year has passed since I wrote my note
(But) I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can save our lives
And war can break our hearts

I send an SOS to the world (2x)
I hope that someone gets my (3x)
Message in a bottle (4x)

Walked out this morning
Don’t believe what I saw
(A) hundred billion bottles
Washed up on the shore
Seems there’s more plastic than fish in the sea
How will we live with no life around,
Will we ever stop?

I send an SOS to the world (2x)
I hope that someone gets my (3x)
Message in a bottle, yeah (4x)

Sending out an SOS (14x)…

And who by fire, who by water
Who in the desert, who in the ocean
Who by disease, who by thirst
Who in a great epidemic
Who by the bombs
And who among our kids will survive?

And who by despair, who by weapons
Who in these realms of fear, who by something blunt
Who by avalanche, who by hurricane
Who for his greed, who for her hunger
And who among our kids will survive?

And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who with resent
Who by sacrifice, who by his own hand
Who in mortal heat, who in suffocation
And who among our kids will survive?

New Lyrics: XR Switzerland
Original music: Leonard Cohen

We have called it out
We have said it loud what now?
From a single voice
To the greatest crowd what now?

With our arms wide open
Time for a change
For every drop in the ocean
Time for a change
Make a resolution
Time for a change
We say Tomorrows a new day

I’m here standing with you
here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders
I’m here standing with you
here standing with me
standing with the world on our shoulders

We can plant the seeds
We can make a change right now
For a better world
For a better place right now
