we are citizens of Earth

and we love all her creatures

equal pride, equal worth.

And we call you to join us

friends and family of Cairns

And you'll know we are rebels

by our love, by our love;

Yes you'll know we are rebels

by our love.

We will walk on together

we will walk hand in hand,

We will stand up for country

we are on ------------ land

and Extinction Rebellion 

is a merry, wee band.

And you'll know you're a rebel

by your love, by your love

Yes you'll know you're a rebel 

by your love.

For the science is clear

it can no more be ignored

And the truth is our freedom

and the truth is our sword

we will work so the balance

can one day be restored

And we'll know we are rebels

by our love, by our love;

Yes we know we are rebels

by our love.

For the hourglass is empty

we are ringing the bell

we aspire to the impossible

so all might be well

And we call you to join us

it's our duty to rebel.

And they'll know we are rebels

by our love, by our love

yes, they'll know we are rebels

by our love.

And they'll know we are rebels

by our love, by our love

yes, they'll know we are rebels

by our love.

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk the moon
But when I hear of how the forest have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted my how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes
