Another Compassion Tune-up! "This is an SOS from the Kids"

Here's another song to share far and wide, written by 12-year-old Simeon and his mom.


SOS from the Kids

This is an SOS from the kids 

All the grown ups take note of this. 
We’re finding our voice, calling you out 
You can’t leave the world in fire and drought.
This is an SOS from the kids.

Please change the story 

Re-write the plot 
This beautiful Earth cannot be lost 
Stop hurting our planet 
Like you don’t care 
There’s only one world 
For us to share

This is an SOS from the kids 
All the grown ups take note of this. 
Wake up and see that you must make a change 
The riches you seek will all be washed away 
This is an SOS from the kids.

Please change the story
Re-write the plot 

This beautiful Earth cannot be lost 
Stop hurting our planet like you don’t care 
There’s only one world 
For us to share

Don't listen to the fat cats, 

they only want their cream 
Always needing oil 
for feeding their machines 
We must care about the animals; 
care about the trees, 
I'll need help from you, 
you'll get help from me!

Please change the story 

Re-write the plot 
This beautiful Earth
cannot be lost 
Stop hurting our planet, 
like you don’t care 
There’s only one world, 
for us to share. 

This is an SOS from the kids 
You can do better than this.
