Deforstation

What about future generations
You need to have some patience

Refugee
what if you never had a place to call your home
What if you're always walking alone
What if you never had anybody to call your own
What if you end up walking alone
What if you were forced to go and leave on your home
What if you ...... melody shit
You need help but no ones ever gonna give you any
So your laone in the dark because you know how it feels to be away
from your home
Gonna leave your family but no ones gonna help you
With no help in sight
Its an endless fight
How will you ever know where your supposed to go
How do you knwo where yur suppposed to go where every road elads to
the unknown
Crossing borders crossing seas
Chasing freedom in the breeze
Walking for days, dusty haze
ENDLESS FIGHT:

VERSE 1: BELLA WITH BACK UPS


It's an endless fight
With no destination in your sight
Can you imagine what it’s like
to walk around with no RIGHTS
How can you stand there just looking around not giving a care
How can you close your eyes to their hysterical cry's ssssss

CHORUS: EVERYONE
Open your eyes look up to the sky and seeeeeeeeeeee
The world’s a changing people are praying on their knees

RAP: ABBEY, HEIDI


_They’re walking through the fire, no home, no land,
Just a suitcase of dreams and the strength to withstand.
_Borders get tighter, the world turns away,
But their hearts keep beating, fighting every day.

_Mothers hold their babies, tears in their eyes,


Fathers look to the heavens, asking “Why, oh why?”
_Voices silenced, _stories untold,
But their spirits shine brighter than the purest of gold.

_We gotta_ rise up, show love, take a stand,


Extend a helping hand, it’s time to understand.
This ain’t just their fight; it’s humanity’s call,
United we stand, or divided we fall.
CHORUS: BELLA
Open your eyes look up to the sky and seeeeeeeeeeee
The world’s a changing people are praying on their knees

OUTRO: SCARLETT & BELLA HARMONIES


How is the world gonna change if we don’t even care
It's Time to step up, stand up, end the despair.

RONNIE
So Open your eyes look up to the sky and seeeeeeeeeeee

EARCHING – FEMINISM SONG


verse 1: allusions to sexual assault

she searches for a part of her skin

that’s not eclipsed by someone else’s touch

and with a brave face she faces the consequence

of being a woman, of not being enough

and i don’t mean to sound so hopeless

but man has got me feeling like I’m nothing

i don’t wanna grow into someone nameless

just because i’m scared of walking on the streets

chorus: money metaphor that symbolises the pay gap

oh-oh-oh

the price is expensive

and i can’t afford it

oh-oh-oh

the cost is deadly

and i’m out of money

verse 2: allusions to domestic violence and abuse

the man on the news says violence in on our shores

so we lock our windows and close the front doors

but the calls coming from inside the house

and there’s nothing you can do about it now

chorus: money metaphor that symbolises the pay gap

oh-oh-oh

the price is expensive


and i can’t afford it

oh-oh-oh

the cost is deadly

and i’m out of money

bridge: double standards faced by women & general challenges

he gets to stand on his first place pedestal

while i’m climbing up a wall to get anywhere close at all

he gets his trophy, his flowers, accolades

and i watch all the women in the world grow more afraid

and like a compass needle

pointing north

a man’s accusing finger

always finds a woman to blame

and like a five course meal

she eats their words

until she kneels

in front of an empty plate

outro: hoping for a better future and equality for all

but aren’t we the same?

i think, we’ll be the same one day

i hope, i’ll get to have a place

i know, they’ll remember our names

ENVIRONMENTAL:
I look around at these cities we’ve built
Does anyone have any guilt
For the mess we’ve made, left astray
Can you see the flames? (Fire)
Habitat loss is no funny thing
When all the forests are burning
Pollution in the air, pollution in the sky
Everybody everywere ask yourself why

WHY DO WE CUT DOWN OUR TREES


YOU KNOW WE NEED THEM TO BREATHE
AND IT TAKES UP SO MUCH ENERGY

Deforestation
Is ruining our nation
What about future generations
You need to have some patience

From the Amazon basin to the Congo’s green,


Forests disappear like they’ve never been seen.
Big business chops, just to make more space,
But what they’re destroyin’ can’t be replaced.
Orangutans cry, and the birds take flight,
Biodiversity fades outta sight.
Paper, palm oil—it’s a corporate game,
But every lost tree is a life to reclaim.
