Pollution, answer us
~
Pollution, this is an important call
Pollution, not just for you, but for all.
Pollution is when we cry why?
Pollution, shouldn't pollute the air and the sky
Pollution, we should stop it or at least even try
Pollution, gives us such a hard time and makes us cry
Pollution, we beg to please go away
Pollution, you're making the sky grey
Pollution, I used to play in this stream
Pollution, now it feels like it was just a dream

Pollution, the colour green for grass has decayed
Pollution, the beautiful past has started to fade
Pollution, what is a fake?
Pollution, why this question? It's some sort of mistake
Pollution, there is something calld' an Earth
Pollution, stop damaging it, because it's worth
Pollution, what happened to man powers?
Pollution, where are trees and the fIowers?
Pollution, we can't change if we continue on this rate
Pollution, at one point, it will be too late

Pollution, because of you, we see people dying
Pollution, because you we hear people crying
Pollution, where is our daily bread?
Pollution, are we not fed?
Pollution, are you noticing everything is fake?
Pollution, are you even awake?
Pollution, everything we learned has ...
Pollution everything we learned is all' burned.
Pollution, at one point we will be in great thirst
Pollution, what have you done to our Earth?

Pollution, everything is in our hand
Pollution, shouldn't we protect our land?
Pollution, the flowers used to bloom
Pollution, is our Earth near its doom?
Pollution, at one point, everything used to grow
Pollution, don't act like you don't know
Pollution, it all started by just one man
Pollution, I'm wondering what was there plan
Pollution, I realized it's not your fault
Pollution , it's us humans; our greatest default

Pollution, don't worry you're not the blame
Pollution, it's us, we should have such shame
Pollution, us, humans will find a way
Pollution, us, humans, will find a way, today
Pollution, we have nothing else to discuss
Pollution , answer us
