The Green New Deal says: ‘ Grow, Not Die

The world is turning, turning… On fire, or freezing, flooded, or dry

The world is burning, burning, One National Emergency that’s not a lie

The world has a bad addiction. An addiction to toxic fuel

Burning clear through to our politicians, Because addict money is toxic too.

We, the people, are turning, turning, ..turning to windows to see the truth

We hear crying children learning, And we weep for their lost youth,

Bernhardts of the world like burning. Burning hard, take the money & run-

But hearts and minds are turning, turning. An end is coming to their bull run

There is a Green new deal coming, and no decades left to delay

The true tech of it is already humming, and we need your courage today

If your heart is burning, burning, because the loss of Earth hurts your brain

Love of beauty sparks a fiery yearning, There is hope, and a world to regain
