Love for our Future
Heidi Edmonds

Verse:
This is the sound of my heart beating
And a little heart beating, beating next to mine
And there’s a little billion heart beats beating, keeping time
When I hold my little loves in my arms I wonder how can I best show love for our future
Show love for our future

Clean air, green trees, little birds tweeting
It’s amazing this place we live
I want these wonderful things
in my girls' futures

Chorus:
Buy less
Love More
Speak up
For the future of those that we adore

Its time for us
to be superheroes
and save
the world

repeat chorus

break
don’t need these big shiny things
just time for conversations and love
don’t need these big shiny things
just a healthy planet and food to eat

Verse 2:

This is my heart beating
These are my feet stomping
Won’t you come and join the dance to do all we can
to show love to the future, show love for our future

Tend your garden
Buy an education
For a little girl on the other side of the world
Put solar panels on your roof darling

we can keep our plant safe for the ones we love
for our little ones

Second Chorus:
Buy less
Love More
Speak up
For the future of those that we adore

Its time for us
to be superheroes
and save
the world

Outro:
we’re going to weather this together
we’re going to weather this together
keep the coal on the ground and the solar panels high on the roof
we’re going to weather this together
we’re going to weather this together
see the birds in the sky and these green trees and the waves crashing to the shore

Buy less
Love More
Speak up
For the future of those that we adore

for the future of those that we adore

dearest darling everyone,
yes climate change is real
but its actually so urgent and so dangerous, that unless we get our emissions under control, climate change will drastically impact the lives of the children of the world being born now, if not those of us already adults. its affecting people and creatures in many places across the world right now. lets all get our super hero capes on and do all we can!!

i wanted this song to be a happy uplifting song to get me and my friends into a good headspace for what we need to do to save the planet! i hope you might enjoy listening to it to feel supported in the big and small things you are doing to look after our planet and the future of the folks on it

get aware, get educated, get inspired, get connected, stay positive, nourish the world and yourselves with a less is more attitude. we all have to be advocates and brave self-educators to get our planet back in balance. we can do it!!
