Climate change and global warming are constantly in the news. So I wanted to write a song to do with this subject. The angle I took was for us all to just take a bit of time and notice the changes that are happening and do what we can, even if it's a small change, to make a positive impact on this planet, our home.
Verse 1
Have you seen the daylight sun cloud over in dismay
As it watched the oceans fill with plastic thrown away
Have you seen great hurricane winds make landfall fear its plight
Or forest fires twist and dance with sheer delight
Chorus
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
Now we know what we need to do
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
There's no future if we don't change soon
Verse 2
Have you seen great glaziers retreat with an anguished cry
Or a deforestation release carbon to the sky
Have you seen the day turn to night when the smog suffocates the blue
Or rising seas claiming land that spoils their view
Chorus
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
Now we know what we need to do
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
There's no future if we don't change soon
Sing-jay
So me go say den
What you gonna do what you gonna say
When the earth is barren where you gonna stay
The next generation is waiting for their day
Learning the lessons from what’s been done today
The more I look the more reveal unto me
The decisions we make bring a discord or harmony
What really matter are priceless and free
The earth a depend ‘pon humanity
Chorus
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
Now we know what we need to do
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
There's no future if we don't change soon
Verse 3
Have you seen a tsunami break on soft white sands
And then reclaim the land touched by human hands
Have you seen the earth quake to remind the human race
To avoid extinction we need nature’s grace
Sing-jay
So me go say den
What you gonna do what you gonna say
When the earth is barren where you gonna stay
The next generation is waiting for their day
Learning the lessons from what’s been done today
The more I look the more reveal unto me
The decisions we make bring a discord or harmony
What really matter are priceless and free
The earth a depend ‘pon humanity
Chorus
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
Now we know what we need to do
Have you seen it
Have you seen it
There's no future if we don't change soon
