On Beautiful Sky
Sam Bartle
On Earth we share a common tie
In Climate change, as time goes by
Can we stop it? Will you try?
“Cross your heart & hope to die”
Believe your promise is not a lie
And swear it here, on Beautiful Sky.
Sky that fills our world with light
Stars that preside over the night
All around us, Nature’s might
Our globe is such a magical sight.
A responsibility, we must get right
Take action fast, or lose the fight.
Fight against the corporate greed
That prioritises economic need.
Dangers planted by industry’s seed
On which shifting weather patterns feed.
Are we capable of taking heed
Of where our pollution is going to lead?
Lead us on to change our ways
So the world on which descendants gaze
Can be assured of better days
As we decided not to laze,
But to realise the costly price it pays
In failing to act on this climate phase.
So listen closely to nature’s sigh
As fragile ecosystems cry
Believe your promise is not a lie
And swear it here, on Beautiful Sky.
