Alt Lyrics
new 2nd verse for Greta Thunberg & other young people in the forefront of the struggle to save our planet:
One sat down on the sidewalk, one spoke out for her land
Now Greta and Tokata and young leaders all demand
We must shout, “Our house is burning!”, we must open up our eyes
Take action for the planet, like the waters, we must rise!
Tokata Iron Eyes is a 16-year-old environmental activist from the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who first became known for a viral video outlining the case against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
