Green grow the laurels

As I roved out

When I just had become a mother, I stayed with my parents for a few days so they could help me with the baby at night. It was May or June then, as it is now, and I was admiring all the wild flowers around my parents' house. I was really worried about climate change and the world that I had brought my baby into - would he know all the flowers that grew around me when I grew up? Would they still be there when he was my age? I felt helpless and that's when I wrote this song. I've realized since that it makes me feel more hopeful if I come into action. But back then, I felt like my voice didn't matter. And I'm still afraid. But hopefully if we all come into action, we can prevent the worst.
