SING FOR THE PLANET
Sing for the Climate Lyrics
We need to wake up
We need to wise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it now-now-now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
We're on a planet
That has a problem
We've got to solve it, get involved
And do it now-now-now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
Make it greener
Make it cleaner
Make it last, make it fast
and do it now-now-now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
No point in waiting
Or hesitating
We must get wise, take no more lies
And do it now-now-now
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now

With the train trip from Stockholm, which took 32 hours, Thunberg was making a statement in opposition to many of the Davos elite, who flew in by private jet.
"I have stopped flying for climate reasons because I don't want to say one thing and do another thing. I want to practise as I preach", she said.
"Young people need to realize that their future is at risk. They need to do something about that and get angry and form that anger into action", she said, insisting that when children speak up they can have a "huge impact"
