Lyrics
Have you looked outside lately?
Seen the changes coming down
Our climate has gone crazy
Wild weather all around
Every living thing is threatened
Our existence is at stake
How in the world could we
Have made such a mistake?
Have you looked outside lately?
The clock is counting down
The polar bears are starving
Because the caps are melting now
We're not the owners of this planet
Just caretakers while we're here
How many more species must vanish
Before it's crystal clear?
Our planet is trying to warn us
That time is running out
We must start to change the way we live
And turn it all around
We cannot ignore the problem
And it will not just go away
We must commit ourselves to
Living green each and every day
Wake up America
Heed the Call
Our children's children will suffer
Are you going to let them take the fall?
In the hereafter, How will you explain
Why you chose to do nothing
While our planet was in pain?
Have you looked outside lately?
Seen the children playing now
They are the ones who will inherit
All we leave behind
Can you in good conscience
Just turn and walk away?
Thinking only of yourself
And living only for today
Have you looked outside lately?
Seen the changes coming down
Our climate has gone crazy
Wild weather all around
Every living thing is threatened
Our existence is at stake
How in the world could we
Have made such a mistake?
Have you looked outside lately?
Seen the changes coming down.
