Lyrics There's a food crisis on the land And the deserts are growing on Earth If we can fly to the moon, send our rockets to space Why can't we replenish the Earth? Eco Reggae, Eco Reggae, Eco Reggae, Eco Reggae. Oh we are jammin’ for our freedom We don't need no other reason We're gonna sing about it on the street While we're rocking to this reggae beat. Oh we are jammin’ for our freedom We don't need no other reason We're gonna sing about it with our soul We're gonna sing it to the young and old. There's an Emergency on Planet Earth. There's an Emergency on Planet Earth. Hey Mr Politician, let's make Peace not War Or we're never gonna solve the problem Come and stand down here with the people We got to get together now. There's an Emergency on Planet Earth. There's an Emergency on Planet Earth. Oh we are jammin’ for our freedom We don't need no other reason We're gonna sing about it on the street While we're rocking to this reggae beat Oh we are jammin’ for our freedom We don't need no other reason We're gonna sing about it with our soul We're gonna sing it to the young and old. Hey Mr Business man, Something's going wrong with your business plan We're going on like there's no tomorrow Every one knows we're in serious trouble Come and stand down here with the people We've got to get together now. There's an Emergency on Planet Earth There's an Emergency on Planet Earth There's an Emergency on Planet Earth Everyone knows we're in serious trouble Eco Reggae, Eco Reggae, Eco Reggae Tell the people the truth now We gotta think about the children of tomorrow Tell the children the truth now Tell the people the truth now We gotta think about the children of tomorrow

Greta's Spoken Word & Emergency Song Lyrics “For 25 years countless people have stood in front of the United Nations Climate Conferences begging our world leaders to stop the emissions. But clearly that has not worked, since the emissions are continuing to rise. I will not beg the world leaders to care for our future. I will instead let them know that change is coming, whether they like it or not. And to beg the people to realise that our political leaders have failed us. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake” There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth “You say you love your children above all else and yet you’re stealing their future. We cannot solve the crisis without treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground and we need to focus on equity. If solutions within this system are so impossible to find then maybe we should change the system itself.” We’re going on like there’s no tomorrow Everyone knows we’re in serious trouble There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth There’s an emergency on planet earth Eco reggae, Eco reggae, Eco reggae Tell the people the truth now “You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to us children.” We’ve got to think about the children of tomorrow “Our civilisation is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small amount of people to continue making an enormous amount of money,” Tell the children the truth now “It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.” Tell the people the truth now “I care about climate justice and the living planet The real power belongs to the people.” We’ve got to think about the children of tomorrow.

In solidarity with people all over the world in their quest for PEACE NOT WAR & CLIMATE JUSTICE & EQUITY FOR EVERYONE.

“If a bunch of school kids were able to get millions of people on the streets and start changing their lives, just imagine what we could all do together if we try.”

“Everybody can do something. No-one’s too small to make a difference”. Greta Thunberg

CLIMATE JUSTICE AND EQUITY FOR EVERYONE.

Our sincere thanks and continuing respect to Greta Thunberg and to all the children and young people all over the world standing up for the rights of Mother Earth and the children of the future generation's.
