We have so much to be thankful for
And yes, so much more to explore
Ways for all humankind to be
United in true harmony
With nature live sustainably
WokeUp a call for each and all
To live with love and not to fall
Into despair from what you see
In our current reality
Rise up, shine, be all you can be
We have the tools to build anew
Justice and peace are within view
Embedded within every heart
Compassion lives, we can jumpstart
New ways of living we must chart
Look at all the disparities
Beside the many charities
Empower people to take care
Of their families be aware
Wealth distribution that is fair
A single voice cannot be heard
At great distance it will be blurred
A chorus is what’s needed now
To sing the truth and disavow
Greed to rule we will not allow
Enlightened leaders now arise
For justice do not compromise
For there is no more time to waste
All reforms must be made in haste
Lest this precious gift be defaced
Let us take Nature as our guide
On Earth there is no place to hide
Our biosphere all connected
Systems can be resurrected
If their health by all respected
Humanity has lost the plot
Crucial wisdom we have forgot
That on the Earth we all depend
For her vital health we must tend
Our foolish greed we must transcend
Thus in your heart now take this vow
To care and be kind here and now
Demand that those who feed your needs
Guard ecosystems by their deeds
And share justly of their proceeds
Let us wake up and realize
For this there is no compromise
With health and love we all do thrive
For true well-being we must strive
Arise radiantly alive
