Lyrics Marion Cotillard - Beds Are Burning

Tick Tick Tick

[Kofi Annan speaks]
Climate change is having a real impact
On the lives of individuals
And communities around the world
We must do something about it
In December in Copenhagen
Our leaders will have an opportunity
To come up with a robust post-climate agreement
That is viable and will help make this planet a better place

Down at the river bed
The earth is cracked and dry instead
Farms are failing, cities baking
Steam in 45 degrees

The time has come
To take a stand
It's for the Earth
It's for our land

The time has come
A fact's a fact
The heat is on
No turning back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To take a stand
It's for the earth
It's for our land

Heaven hopes we’ll find a cure
From Bejing west to Timbuktu
The global village lives and breathes
In 45 degrees

The time has come
To take a stand
It's for the Earth
It's for our land

The time has come
A fact's a fact
The heat is on
No turning back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

The time has come
To take a stand
It's for the Earth
It's for our land

The time has come
A fact's a fact
The heat is on
No turning back

How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning
How can we dance when our earth is turning
How do we sleep while our beds are burning

[Desmond Tutu concludes]
I support the Campaign For Climate Justice
And I'm pleased to become a climate ally
This is your campaign
