Climate change has a personal side to it. As sea levels rise, stress levels rise on the inside. How do we personally navigate the challenges that we are faced with? Can the many challenges before us be the glue that brings us together? #temperatureRiseAndFall #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #Coronavirus #mentalHealth
Verse
She asked of me how can we become the ones we want us to become
when the barriers are rooted in, and my vote is just another leaf
on a surely dying tree
I’d rather just hide myself
so no one knows about me
Chorus
And I try with all my might make sense of it all
when a giant arctic sheet collapse is possible
temperature rise, temperature rise and fall
My world may be warming, but I can’t tell that from here
Verse
There’s something ever so beautiful about the stops and starts we take
and all the times we thought that we had had made, but look back and say
what happened here? why did nothing change?
where are my younger days? I can’t see them in my face…
Chorus
Bridge
oooo impatience gets the best of me
oooo a hailstorm of urgency
Slow, I run so fast the grass can’t grow beneath my feet
Chorus
