From the recording Count. Me. In.
I have always loved the way so many people sing along with John Lennon’s “Imagine” without realizing how radical the lyrics are. This song, too, paints a picture of our world after we reverse global warming.
Lyrics
All Around the World (In memory of John Lennon)
D G
Now that we know we’re gonna do it . Bring that carbon down
A A7 D
More than we put each year up in the air.
We’re gonna change how we all get around and make the stuff we think we need.
Find a way to make green jobs and trade that’s fair.
Lift
D G A D
Life will regenerate all around the world.
D G A D
Spirits will thrive all around the world.
D G A D
There will be justice all around the world.
D G A D
For all species, all around the world.
Chorus
G A D G A D
All around the world. All around the world.
G A D-A-G A D
We will be one family, all around the world.
We’ll work across borders. We’ll plant way more trees.
And protect all the rainforest canopy.
Food will be abundant and our soil rich with life.
Since it’s all organic no labels will we need.
Lift - Chorus
As cities turn into neighborhoods solar and urban farms
And all girls will get the schooling they deserve.
The corporations’ charters will change to benefit all
Empowered to spread wealth and to serve.
Lift - Chorus
