Writing Music During a Heat Wave
LYRICS
chorus:
I’m melting, melting, melting
Literally, melting
My skin is smoldering
My eyes are dry
I’m melting
how much can a human endure
We’re about to find out
(That’s for sure)
If your lips aren’t too dry
Can you shout it out?
(Come on. Give it a try)
Human induced climate change
An experiment in our ability
(in our “are” ability)
To re-arrange
Restore
The natural order
Neutral nature
The Balancing Queen
Neutral nature
Is never mean
If you were seeing
What the pollution is doing
You’d quit that habit
If you were aware
Of what’s in your air
You’d stop breathing
Lance the invincible
Tackle the impossible
