Composed by Tenzing Topzer Bhutia

It's scorching here, some of these Lords in here

Should realize the cost and what's important here

Understand there are resources we're exhausting here

Don't wait until it's too late

Panic-stricken, I'm two-faced

I'm screaming Green week, Earth day, 

But as I speak righteous today, do I care?

Putting everything aside, do I even practice what I say?

No

But I guess admitting is the first step to rectify my mistakes

Tough pill to swallow, my words ring hollow and I swear

These broken promises live anonymous,

Now the air we breathe is poisonous

The food we eat is hazardous, 

Diseases delivered through aqueducts

What can I say that hasn't been said yet?

Go poetic on your beauty and then leave you for dead?

No

Sorry dear Mother, for all the abuse you've endured

These past few decades have left you impure, in need of cure and so much more

We've used you, abused you

Selfish intents and self-serving needs that felt crucial

When our own existence is at stake, we can't afford to stay neutral

Wake up dear friends, Mother Earth needs you!

We owe a debt to the the generations that are yet to take a step

Here, this world's not ours to take, it's ours to protect
