Unplug the machines, let's rewrite this scene
Political fairy tales ain’t just what they seem
Voices of the people bout to intervene
Let's drown out the noise with a global dream
From the students scribbling homework in candlelight
To the 9-5 workers building towers breathing smog filled sight
Artists painting shadows, while leaders bask in limelight
We're all bound chains by fossil's spiteful might
Chip away, chip away, at inertia endless fray
Chip away, chip away, till braver hopes hold sway
Our revolution needn't wait another day
Chip away, chip away, let the planet have its say
In pews and on YouTube, searching for divine signs,
Breaking glass ceilings, winding up the grapevines,
Even in corridors where a dim future aligns,
We find the strength to challenge old bloodlines.
Chip away, chip away, til the dinosaurs fade
Chip away, chip away, until our debt’s paid
With each reusable cup, a decision is made
Chip away, chip away, join the climate crusade!
Can't afford to sit on the sidelines,
The world's theatre can't afford a decline.
Stand up, shout louder, let your spirit align,
Together we can redefine the skyline.
Chip away, chip away, it's more than fleeting fame
Chip away, chip away, rejecting the old game
This is about life, not a political claim
Chip away, chip away, for our children's claim
It's a bloody fight, yet we rise again,
Defeating pessimism, in our own heartland.
Fossil fuels, beware, this is our
