“Hallelujah” Song: Climate Change
By Megan Ratcliffe/Chris Schweitzer
Music by Leonard Cohen

I know you’ve heard of climate change
That none of us are out of range
And heading for a warmer global future
We might lose the world we know
But who are we to let her go
And from our lips we’ll whisper hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

We’ve seen her signs, we know the proof
So how’s our passion so aloof
We’re risking desolation for the future
On slippery slopes we’re falling fast
This rising heat is unsurpassed
And in its wake we’ll whisper hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

The earth they bleed with tragic greed
our choices blind the pain we seed
How can we now return back to nature?
The saddest yet we fail to wake
And leave their thirst to damn our fate
And as we wait we whisper hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

The air we breathe, the lives we lead
Are enveloped in her lasting creed
Every day that seed is growing stronger
Our time has come to finally learn
Before the point of no return
There must be change, we whisper Hallelujah

Hallelujah x4

Walking ‘long the shoreline sands
And climbing woods of ancient stands
It stirs a pull towards our rooted beauty
Her waiting gaze will call us home
And feed our hope and make us one
Embracing change, we whisper hallelujah
