While the ice is melting
and our lands are burning
and our forests are dying
and our oceans are choking
the fight for hope
is daily
the fight for life
is dire
When we were young my love
our old age was assumed
now I look at your face my love
and my heart fills with fear
hold on to my hand my love
the only truth is change
hold on to this life my love
as long as we breathe… we try
