Emerge and See Lyrics
Oh, everybody’s heard about the dinosaurs,
and everybody knows they’re not here anymore.
Well, something big happened, and now they’re gone.
It was a massive extinction. Once again it’s going on.
Yeah, people need homes, food, and clothes.
They use natural resources to get all of those.
But nature won’t last if we keep doing what’s been done.
There’ll be nothing left for the children yet to come.
CHORUS
Woo (kids make sirens sounds) Emerge and See.
We’re losing our world’s biodiversity.
It’s up to you. It’s up to me to change this crazy human activity.
For as long as we’ve been here, there’ve been fish in the sea
migrating up the rivers seasonally.
With hooks, nets, and spears, we’ve caught what we could.
Because smoked, grilled, or broiled, fresh fish tastes good.
But there are dams in the rivers and sewage too,
coming from pigs, chickens, cows, me and you.
Huge boats with huge nets catch all in their wake.
There are places in the ocean where there’s nothing left to take.
CHORUS
Now, there are places where good things happen every day.
Where people do the right things when they work and play.
Where they protect the water, soil, and air,
so the forest and fish will always be there.
But there are too many places where this is not true.
We must watch what we buy and watch what we do.
Conserve energy, and make sure that
whatever you buy doesn’t hurt habitats.
CHORUS
