about

In advance of the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2021, this track is a call to action for change. From our politicians and leaders and from all of us, in helping to avert the worst effects of a changing climate. The song is also about any kind of positive change that makes the world a better place! Please leave a comment to let me know what you think, and do share this if you like it. You could also let us all know what changes you have made, or actions from governments that you'd like to see happen.

lyrics

Take a look through your window, what do you see?
Are you looking at a world the way it ought to be
What’s in the way of the life we need?
Is it people’s stupefaction and their mindless greed?
Or are you the one who’s really getting in the way
Cos you’re not brave enough to say what you need to say?
If it’s true that it’s you here’s a clue what to do
You gotta pick yourself up and move

And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never

Too much talk, not much trying
The politicians always smile, but they can’t stop lying
Don’t be the problem, be part of the solution
Speak truth to power and the institution
Stand your ground, put your foot in the door,
Life’s no good as a no-score draw
They might not like what you’ve got to say,
You gotta tell em anyway

And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never

I can hear your voice, it’s loud and clear
Let me help you help the rest to start to hear

There’s hope for us all if we all share a vision
Find the things that unite us and avoid the divisions
We all share the earth moving under our feet
There’s a tide on the rise that’s growing hard to beat
Things are a changing you can feel it in the air,
More and more and more people care
You gotta have belief in what you can do,
You know now it’s up to you too

And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
And if you wanna make a change,
Well it’s now or never
