This is all wrong I shouldn't be up here I should be back in school On the other side of the ocean You all come to us young people for hope How dare you? You have stolen my dreams My childhood With your empty words And yet I'm one of the lucky ones People are suffering People are dying Entire ecosystems are collapsing We are at the beginning of a mass extinction And all you can talk about Is money And fairy tales of eternal economic growth How dare you! How dare you pretend? For more than 30 years The science has been crystal clear How dare you continue to look away? And come here Saying you're doing enough When the politics and solutions needed Are still nowhere in sight You say you hear us And that you understand the urgency But no matter how sad and angry I am I do not want to believe that Because if you really understood the situation And still kept on failing to act Then you would be evil And that I refuse to believe And change is coming The world is waking up (yeah) You like it or not Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here We draw the line Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here, right now Right here The world is waking up
