#GreenMusic of the Week
Everyweek, we scout and share an inspiring environmental music that can inspire and uplift you to go green during the week. At @thegreens, we promote environmental music and so far, we have over 9 songs we have created.
This week, we bring you Green Go Green by Colby and Awu, @thegreens International Ambassadors with whom we have produced over 7 songs. Green go Green is the perfect song to use to advocate for environmentalism and the song was first whispered by @mr-greens and then written and performed by Colby and Awu with our very own @mr-greens, serving as their Director.
The song aims to inspire everyone to become more environmentally friendly and go green for our wonderful planet earth.
Lyrics:
[Awu]
We cannot do everything,
But still we can do something,
And so because we cannot do everything,
We’ll not refuse to do something we can do,
And this something that we can do…
Is say an international no to pollution,
Say an international no to disease,
Say an international no to hunger, climate change, and global warming,
So do what you can with what you have,
Wherever you are, it takes nothing to tell someone,
[Chorus]
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
[Colby]
You might ask what does it mean to go green,
I’ll explain to you the concept as I quickly intervene,
Going green simply means we gotta keep the earth clean,
Can’t waste the world away we need sustainability,
We can’t be polluting all the forests and the streams,
Or smogging up the air by burning too much gasoline,
Or dumping all our waste into the oceans and the seas,
And killing all the animals from our toxicity, nah,
Look at the Earth, aint gotta just take it from me,
All of the garbage we create has brought the Earth down to her knees,
Begging please, set me free from all of this disease,
Typhoons and hurricanes are like a cough and like a sneeze,
And global warming’s like a fever, yeah its too many degrees,
So you see, its obscene, we gotta change dramatically,
Truly going green will take all of humanity,
Let’s come together for the planet ya’ll, we need some unity!
[Chorus]
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
[Colby]
Yeah, it starts up in our heads, we need a green psychology,
Then our thoughts will lead to actions, that’s the methodology,
So stop all of your the littering and start recycling,
And get off of the couch and go outside and plants some trees,
And take a look down at your plate, and then examine what you eat,
Why don’t you switch some meat out with some fruit or broccoli,
That is grown organically, or better yet grown locally,
And start conserving water before there’s none left to drink,
Replace all of your lights with ones that shine fluorescently
Then dry your clothes out in the sun, aint gotta always use machines,
Reduce your carbon footprint with some cleaner energy,
And if you own a business, join the green economy, yeah,
Let’s join our hands, and paint the world green,
Something that the human race has surely never seen,
Making change in the world, it begins with me and you,
So one thing we ask everybody to do is,
[Awu]
Say an international no to pollution,
Say an international no to disease,
Say an international no to hunger, climate change, and global warming,
So do what you can with what you have,
Wherever you are, it takes nothing to tell someone,
[Chorus]
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
Let’s join our hands as we paint the world, green, go green,
I green, you green, we all green, yeah,
Enjoy this great piece and let us know what you think.
