LYRICS:
The truth of climate change is all too clear;
We feel the climate impacts, they're already here.
We know these climate changes will impact our health,
Threaten food security, safety and wealth.
Monsoons and floods are getting even stronger
While seasons of drought are getting even longer
Floods mean more drowning, and droughts mean starvation
Adaptation and mitigation offer salvation.


Our health is at stake, there are actions we must take
Lets make it our mission to stop our emissions.


Warming waters lead to rising seas
With oceans submerging communities.
This heat increases storm intensities
Meaning bigger disasters with more injuries.
Climatic changes forcing families to move;
Mental health impacts are easy to prove.
Leaving home behind when your towns going under
Breaks hearts and tears families asunder.


Our health is at stake, there are actions we must take
Lets make it our mission to stop our emissions.


Climate change is shifting eco-zones;
More malarial mosquitoes entering homes.
Warming winters help vectors spread disease.
All these massive changes making climate refugees.
On the poverty line, the fight for life is getting tougher;
Old and young, the poor will be the ones to suffer.
The largest emissions come from the wealthy,
But can we afford to keep the world healthy?


Our health is at stake, there are actions we must take
Lets make it our mission to stop our emissions.


Addressing climate change also makes cleaner air;
Improved respiration everywhere.
Well protect our climate and our health when we conserve;
Save our childrens planet, as they deserve
Reducing our emissions and stopping pollution,
You know that were all part of the solution.
So on World Health Day 2008
Lets be the change we wish to create.


Our health is at stake, there are actions we must take
Lets make it our mission to stop our emissions.
