Climate change is having a real impact On the lives of individuals And communities around the world We must do something about it In December in Copenhagen Our leaders will have an opportunity To come up with a robust post-climate agreement That is viable and will help make this planet a better place Down at the river bed The earth is cracked and dry instead Farms are failing, cities baking Steam in 45 degrees The time has come To take a stand It's for the Earth It's for our land The time has come A fact's a fact The heat is on No turning back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To take a stand It's for the earth It's for our land Heaven hopes we’ll find a cure From Bejing west to Timbuktu The global village lives and breathes In 45 degrees The time has come To take a stand It's for the Earth It's for our land The time has come A fact's a fact The heat is on No turning back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To take a stand It's for the Earth It's for our land The time has come A fact's a fact The heat is on No turning back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning [Desmond Tutu] I support the Campaign For Climate Justice And I'm pleased to become a climate ally This is your campaign

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 our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are 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 At 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 our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come to say fair's fair To pay the rent, now to pay our share The time has come, a fact's a fact It belongs to them, We gotta give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning
