Story Behind The Song
Just lifting my head above the parapet and looking with open eyes about what is going on. We are constantly distracted by other more immediate things but we need to lock down a strong environmental policy globally.
Song Description
The wildfires in the USA, Australia and elsewhere, the Tsunami in the Pacific, the melting icebergs, pollution and the issue of greenhouse gases all together mean that the world and the countries within it are in urgent need to change environmental policy. This song is a funky but serious reminder about these issues.

The Climate Race lyrics
V1
We've still got hope.
There is some scope
But the futures looking bleak
Can't wait another week
The world is burning
And we are not learning
The facts are blurry
Some countries are surly
Pre chorus
Everything we do now
Must lead somehow
To a global queue
To follow things through
Chorus
Less heat and waste.
Must work in haste
And all embrace.
The climate race.
V2
Some states are listening.
Plans are shifting.
Budgets are lifting
With no more drifting
It's down to us all.
To hear the call.
Join the long haul
And protect our ball
Chorus
Less heat and waste
Must work in haste
And all embrace.
The climate race.
But......
We need to ditch the coal
Plant trees, be bold.
Stop making toxic gas.
Get out of this impasse.
Less heat and waste.
Must work in haste.
And all embrace.
The climate race.
(May not be the final version)
