Congress … we need you to re-a-lize (“congress” quick & punchy each time)
We said, Congress, plee-eze open your eyes
We said, Congress, all the seas will soon rise
And massive fi-res will be raaa-ging
White House … there is no time to spare (“White House” quick & punchy each time)
We said, White House, we all breathe the same air
We said, White House, now is time to repair
Our fragile ov-er hea-ted pla-net
Chorus: (CLAP 1, 2, 3)
We’re facing one big climate em-er-gen-cy
one big climate em-er-gen-cy
We’re facing one big climate em-er-gen-cy
one big cli-mate em-er-gen-cy
Judges … we don’t need fossil fuels (“Judges” quick & punchy each time)
We said, judges, you can write some new rules
We said, judges, let’s give all of us tools
To safely ditch -excess – carbon
Neighbors … it is now up to you (“neighbors” quick & punchy each time)
We said, neighbors, you know what you should do
We said, neighbors , save our water and air
It’s com-mon sen-se and mo-r-ally fair
Chorus: (CLAP 1, 2, 3, )
We’re facing one big climate em-er-gen-cy
one big cli-mate em-er-gen-cy
(Fade out) We’re facing one big climate em-er-gen-cy
one big cli-mate em-er-gen-cy
