We gotta talk about climate change, yeah, yeah!
We have to talk about oceans… ‘cuz
It’s been plenty of years
It’s been plenty of years
We were dying inside, and no one has done a single thing
No one ever did something
But climate change keeps whatever it’s doing—
OCEANS!
You’re telling this story, or am I?
I’m sorry, mi vida, go on
They all said that it is alright
Why didn’t they tell us?
In doing so, earth became nuts
Panicking and all of those acts
Growing with all these issues
What a joyous life… but anyway
We gotta talk about climate change, yeah, yeah!
We have to talk about oceans!
Hey! Grew to live in fear of oceans getting so much dirty
I was always thinking about how to make it tidy
I associate that with the sound of sea creatures (HELP, HELP, HELP!)
So many people tried to cure this problem
Such as Greta Thunberg, Lizzie Carr, and Steve Irwin
Have you done anything to make these things right, did you
Did anyone do?
Plastic, metal,
glasses and paper
These are some things
That we throw at oceans
We can only cure this
All together (hey!)
We gotta talk about climate change, no, no!
We have to talk about oceans
I did not used to know that
exhaust gas was bad! (No, no!)
I thought we had no problems!
But looks like we have…
I haven’t done anything to make things right and I regret (No, no! Hey!)
But maybe we still have time to get our world back!
I believe that we will hold our hands and together we’ll make things better
And I think that all of us would like to take some part in this huge project
Look at us, we already started
But things may not go so well, I don’t know
But we still have a chance, why not we use it
It’s like I’m motivated now
Look at me, why don’t you come give us some help (It’s like I wanna start now)
I can start right now!
Um, oceans…
Yeah, about climate change…
We really need to start just right now…
We cannot lose another time
(Everybody it’s time to act)
Time to clean up!
(Colorful parts again)
We gotta talk about climate change, yeah, yeah
We have to talk about oceans!
We have to talk about oceans
‘Cuz nobody will if we don’t!
Reflection
I want to tell everyone that we should start acting because we can't afford to waste any time. Just like I say in the song, nobody will do anything if we don’t.
