MayDay

Climate change the system
Change change change
Talkin' COVID-19
Strange strange strange

M'aidez M'aidez M'aidez
MayDay MayDay MaDay

Unitin' for our mother
Earth Earth Earth
Comes a grateful death
Birth birth birth

M'aidez M'aidez M'aidez
MayDay MayDay MaDay

Defend the planet's, great waltz through space
Sacred inspirals of absolute grace
Wholly embraced by the infinite Sun
Come together, right now, as one

Well Rise up, resist destruction and hate
Fail to fall like great prey to Fate 
Co-create, for the forest's sake
Comme une arbre, you'll stand tall
Cleanse the ocean, bless the small

M'aidez M'aidez M'aidez
MayDay MayDay MaDay

Climate change the system
Change change change
Talkin COVID-19
Strange strange strange

M'aidez M'aidez M'aidez
MayDay MayDay MaDay

Unitin' for our mother
Earth Earth Earth
Comes a grateful death
Birth birth birth

As we bask in the light and the mystery
We rewrite human history
And unite in solidarity 
We must heal our ailing Earth
Regenerate, recreate, rebirth

M'aidez M'aidez M'aidez
