SDG 13:

A-                        G
The Earth is the place to discover,
F                                   C
There is so much to see.
A-                            G
Spring, autumn, winter and summer,
F.                                   C
The perfect place to be.
A-                                G
Everything seems so perfect,
                      F.                  C
there are many amazing things
A-                                           G
But actually the world is defect,
F.                            C
Emergency bell rings.
{REFRAIN:}
F.                 C.                        G.            A-
Once there was a girl called Courtney,
F.               C.               G.        A-
She was very outdoor sporty.
F.                                                     C
Running through the forest, with rain, sun or snow,
             G.                                                     A-
But the current problem is: where is the forest now?
{STANZA:}
A-                        G
The Earth is the place to discover
             F.                         C
But the season now are gone
A-                              G
It feels like summer every month
                 F.                        C                            
There are only floods and storms
A-                        G.               F.        C
Greenhouse can keep the Earth warm
{REFRAIN:}
F.                  C.                         G.          A-
Once there was a girl called Courtney
F.               C.                   G.     A-
She was very outdoor sporty
F.                                                      C
Running through the forest, with rain, sun or snow
G
Now she runs very slow,
                      A-
Without see animals and nature
F
But running through melt glaciers
C
Now she runs very slow,
              G.                                                       A-
but the current problem is: where are the forests now?
{FINAL BRIDGE:}
                     F.          C
She keeps running fast,
        G.                                     A-
and hopes this wonderful nature isn´t going to
F.               C.                      G
be a memory from the past,
F.                                                            C
it´s a neck and neck race between us and the time,
G.                                       A-
who will first reach the finishing line
