With piping hot coffee on my table,
To see them march outside my window
huge posters, placards and louder slogans,
Yet to decipher them I was unable
To see them march outside my window
huge posters, placards and louder slogans,
Yet to decipher them I was unable
It was a strong urge to join in,
As it wasn’t just the melting glaciers,
the dwindling ethics or corrupt leaders
which hurt the world we live in.
As it wasn’t just the melting glaciers,
the dwindling ethics or corrupt leaders
which hurt the world we live in.
To toil, fight and give it my all,
to protest with displeasure
to invigorate the revolution
in every slogan and in every call.
to protest with displeasure
to invigorate the revolution
in every slogan and in every call.
Well, our pretty world did change,
The demons had been exorcised,
the forests rejuvenated and people charmed pious
This was the revolt, this was the change.
The demons had been exorcised,
the forests rejuvenated and people charmed pious
This was the revolt, this was the change.
The effort had been of the highest rung
but far too long, far too tiresome.
I come back and take the coffee mug
one little sip; the piping hot coffee burnt my tongue.
