One Small Change

We can make a difference in our own small way.
It’s one small change: we can do that today.
Our mind’s getting bigger while the world’s getting smaller,
but saving the Earth’s becoming a tall order.

From the minute you wake from your nightly nap,
you can make little changes, like turning off the tap
while brushing your teeth in the bathroom.
You can cycle or walk your way to the classroom,

cut down the fuel you use to get to school …
Pull in … let’s car pool
In your lunch box cut down the plastic.
See? These things aren’t too drastic.

Spread the word, get vocal. Make it go global.
When buying food stay local.
Never mind the dishwasher, do it by hand.
But I hate washing up. Ah, come on, it’s grand.

Just one small change in the little things we do:
we’ll show you how, and now it’s up to you.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth.

Since we found out the Earth was sick,
we knew we had to do something quick.
The Earth is our family and our friend,
we need to mend it before it ends.

This is our home, so don’t destroy it.
Everyone should do their bit.
Ice caps melting, seas getting high.
Homes will be flooded, polar bears will die.

The sun’s getting hotter, the rain won’t fall.
I’m afraid we won’t survive at all.
Recycle the plastic, please – it’s free –
you don’t want that ending up in the sea.

It’s like people use this planet as a bin.
Pick up your trash: that’s where you begin.
Temperatures are rising, we are realising
we must act now. There’s no compromising …

Just one small change in the little things we do:
we’ll show you how, and now it’s up to you.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth.

If you cut down flowers and trees
you contribute to the mass extinction of the bees.
Think of the creatures that don’t have a say.
There has to be a better way.

There’s no higher being to save the Earth.
We’ve got to do something before we get cut.
At school we know what to do.
But my question is, Do you?

Just one small change in the little things we do:
we’ll show you how, and now it’s up to you.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth.
It’s our future. It’s our Earth. We need to protect it for what it’s worth …
