For the coal's so bad / whilst the winds they blow
For the weather’s bad / and it’s getting worse
For we have to act / on climate change
For we have to reign in / corporate power
For we have to stop bur-ning / fossil fuels
We we have to invest / in re-new-a-bles
For we have to try / or we all might die
And it’s time for us to divest

What a Wonderful World
I see trees of green
Red roses too
Then I see us burning all
These fossil fuels
And I think to myself.. how can we save the world?
I see leaders talk
About climate change
Then nothing happens it
Just stays the same
And I think to myself... what’s wrong with the world?
On Valentine’s Day
We’ve clarified our call
We’re asking Boris Johnson
To divest City Hall
Cause it’s now very clear
This is what we need to do
It’s a way tell the planet, I love you...
I see ice caps melt
Sea levels rise
We can’t just sit there
And close our eyes
For the sake of us all... let’s divest the world / Cause it’s time to divest... let’s divest the world
