Lyrics to Brand New Sky
Think of a world where everyone cares
About the land that everyone shares
Think of the soil that’s under your feet
And what it needs to make it complete
Under a brand new sky
We don’t have to settle for a dying planet
There is something we can do
We can save the land and everything upon it
All it takes is me and you
Take a look outside of your door
And find a world worth fighting for
Where there was once nothing to see
Now there is life all around me
Under a brand new sky
We don’t have to settle for a dying planet
There is something we can do
We can save the land and everything upon it
All it takes is me and you
The answer that we’re looking for is soil for climate
Put the carbon back in the ground
This can be a movement if we get behind it
Help us turn the world around
We don’t have to settle for a dying planet
There is something we can do
We can save the land and everything upon it
All it takes is me and you

Poetry
“Climate Farming”
Poem by Karl Thidemann
Poem by Karl Thidemann
So, what’s the future?
Is there no hope?
Healing the land
Can help us cope
And grow better food
With less flooding, too
Put carbon in soil
Is what we must do
Draw down the heat
Slow the sea rise
Let birds and bees
Thrive in the skies
Good farming is how
We deal with this mess
Now the climate’s fixed
What’s next to address?
