extended track with more awesome guitar? please?

Two and a half years ago, I wrote a song about the extinction of species and our negligent treatment of creation: ‘The last Beluga Whale’. At the time, young people were drawing massive attention to the fact that their future was more endangered than ever. I thought about them in one verse. But what has changed to this day, except that I feel even more strongly than back then how our existence hangs by a thread. It is up to all of us to think deeply about our lifestyle so that future generations have a chance. - All the best, Gert -(Video supported by canva.com / https://youtu.be/X8B24tP7bCo )

Vor zweieinhalb Jahren schrieb ich einen Song, der das Artensterben und unseren fahrlässigen Umgang mit der Schöpfung zum Inhalt hatte: "The last Beluga Whale". Damals machten junge Leute massiv darauf aufmerksam, dass ihre Zukunft stärker denn je gefährdet ist. Ich bedachte sie in einer Strophe. Doch was hat sich bis heute geändert, außer dass ich noch stärker als damals spüre, wie unsere Existenz am seidenen Faden hängt. Es ist an uns allen, uns über unseren Lebensstil tiefgreifende Gedanken zu machen, damit nachfolgende Generationen eine Chance haben. - Alles Liebe, Gert (https://youtu.be/X8B24tP7bCo)

The last Beluga Whale

The last falcon in the sky
circles across the desert land.
We take care of ourselves,
ignoring the changes in the world.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We did not understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The last beluga whale
plows through the plastic-strewn sea.
We do not want to see:
We are living beyond the means.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We didn’t understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

Bridge:
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
Wonder: How could tomorrow ever follow then.
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
We have to awake – right now!
I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The children of the earth
begin to awake and cry.
Hope will never end,
but we have to start to change.
It’s almost too late,
but the future is not giving up yet.
We just have to see:
less could be more – most certainly.

I am confident,
closure in our hearts can change.
Come on - get on your way,
take the tiny chance – right now.
