Climate Change Song Lyrics

Song By: Matt & Joanna Pace

We’ll stop chopping down our trees!

Stop using plastic things!

We’ll carpool and drive EVs

And give back to the Earth we’ve been given


Cut down the milk and meat!

Green power the lights and heat!

We’ll sing this song on repeat

As we do our part for the world that we live in


Earth: I’m Earth, the planet that you’re on, you know

But I’m not feeling so well.

My temperature’s rising, species are dying,

Floods, droughts, and fires

No longer surprising


I’m losing trees and my islands

Slowly disappear

It’s getting harder and harder

To make a home for you here


Factory: Hey Earth, let me break it down for ‘em:

We’re making those greenhouse gasses

Trapping heat in the atmosphere

They come from cars and plastics

Cows and factories here.


We’re burning oil and coal

And all that natural gas

Releasing carbon dioxide and methane

And releasing them fast,

But hey, folks gotta live. Yea!


Earth: People need to live

But look at what you give

To the children after you

You need me - ooh And I need you


Kid 1: Hey! We’ll stop chopping down our trees They absorb carbon dioxide


Kid 2: We’ll switch over to EVs Or carpool or go for a bike ride


Kid 3: We’ll stop using plastic things And take our own bags to the store


Kid 4: Let’s change up the way we eat - a little less milk and meat


Cow: *Burp*


Kid 5: Let’s switch to renewable power unplug and take shorter showers

(But please don’t stop taking showers. That would be gross.)


Kids: Stop chopping down our trees!

Stop using plastic things!

Carpool and drive EVs

And give back to the Earth we’ve been given


Cut down the milk and meat!

Green power the lights and heat!

And sing this song on repeat

As we do our part for the world that we live in


Kids: “Grown-ups, take it away!”


Adults: We can write our governments

And tell them to change

They might say it’s impossible

But we can hold them responsible


And help them to lead in

Cleaner energy

What we do now will reverberate

For centuries!


We’ll stop chopping down our trees!

Stop using plastic things!

We’ll carpool and drive EVs And give back to the

Earth we’ve been given


Cut down the milk and meat!

Green power the lights and heat!

We’ll sing this song on repeat

As we do our part for the world that we live in


(Repeat with EVERYBODY)


And we’ll start today!


Today, today, today, today


We’ll sing this song on repeat

As we do our part for the world that we live in

And we’ll start today
