From the recording Count. Me. In.
Everything needs to change to have a livable planet and a society that will protect the generations to come. It seems like the climate crisis is happening TO us, but maybe it is happening FOR us.

The Great Work
Bm A G
Now that we know what we’ve done.
We can build a world we want to come.
Yes, we are running out of time.
But it’s the great work of our time.
D A F#m G - D- A
Of our time. The great work of our time.
F#m G - Bm - A - G
It’s the great work of our time.
Extraction, exploitation and monopoly
Have built fine mansions in the Land of the Free.
Slavery’s been replaced by poverty.
The chains are crafted right on TV.
Of our time. Will we break those chains in time?
It’s the great work of our time.
Some are not waiting for the voting booth.
They are acting on data, not debating truth.
Around the world folks like you and me
Are turning this ship’s wheel just a few degrees.
At a time. Can we turn around in time?
It’s the great work of our time.
There is so much to do, it’s hard to start.
Let those who hurt the most open your heart.
Start in your kitchen, your neighborhood.
And share your hope that comes from doing good.
In your time. It’s the great work of our time.
It’s the great work of our time.
