Featuring Julia Dettwiler


Martin:

Global Warming crossing the 1.5 degree line could be an extinction level event.

It’s about the point where we’ll likely see manly natural systems begin to cross dangerous points of no return, triggering lasting changes and transforming life as we know it.




Julia:

The World’s leading climate scientists have warned there are only a dozen years for Global warming to be kept to a maximum of 1.5 degrees celsius.

Beyond which, even half a degree will significantly worsen the risks of drought, floods, extreme heat and poverty for hundreds of millions of people.



1. Verse

Our world keeps changing everyday

Photographs and messages of what we do and say

This world we’re living in today

Recorded for eternity long after we fade away



Bridge

Standing on the ground looking up to sky

Have you ever wondered - have you ever asked why?

If there’s Someone out there…

Somewhere out there…

Just what is left to say



Chorus

Is there another place…

Is there a chance for us?

We are the Human Race

Forgotten how to trust

And when we leave this place

To build another world

Where there’s a chance for us

Before we turn to dust


Julia:

At 2 degrees, we start getting into scenarios that make most dystopian horror movies look like children’s coloring books.



2. Verse

The sun is burning down today

The Icy caps of glaciers are melting away

For many miracles we pray

Alone here in the darkness- these are our final days…



Bridge

When we’re standing on the ground looking up to the stars

When we’re looking for life on IO or Mars

If there’s someone out there

Somewhere out there

And can we leave today?



Chorus

And find another place?

Where there's a chance for us?

We are the Human Race

Forgotten how to trust

And when we find this place

And build our perfect world

Where there’s a chance for us

Because we’re all nothing more than stardust…


Solo


Chorus end

And when we leave

our orbit into space

We’ll send a message, hear this message

From the human race!


Is there another place?

Is there a chance for us?

We are the Human Race

Forgotten how to trust


And when we find this place

And build our perfect world

Where there’s a chance for us

Because we’re all nothing more than stardust…
