lyrics
I am here to speak for all generations to come.
I am here to speak on behalf of the starving children around the world whose cries go unheard.
I am here to speak for the countless animals dying across this planet, because they have nowhere left to go.
I am afraid to go out in the sun now, because of the holes in our ozone.
I am afraid to breathe the air, because I don’t know what chemicals are in it.
I used to go fishing in Vancouver, my home, with my Dad until, just a few years ago, we found the fish full of cancers.
And now we hear of animals and plants going extinct every day, vanishing forever.
In my life, I have dreamt of seeing the great herds of wild animals, jungles, and rainforests full of birds and butterflies, but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see.
Did you have to worry of these things when you were my age?
All this is happening before our eyes and yet we act as if we have all the time we want and all the solutions.
I’m only a child and I don’t have all the solutions.
I want you to realize, neither do you.
You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer.
You don’t know how to bring the salmon back up in a dead stream.
You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct.
And you can’t bring back the forests that once grew where there is now a desert.
If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it.
Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters, or politicians.
But, really, you are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles.
And all of you are someone’s child.
I’m only a child, yet I know we are all part of a family five billion strong, in fact 30 million species strong.
And borders and governments will never change that.
I’m only a child, yet I know we are all in this together and should act as one single world towards one single goal.
In my anger, I'm not blind and in my fear, I'm not afraid of telling the world how I feel.
In my country we make so much waste, we buy and throw away, buy and throw away, buy and throw away and yet Northern countries will not share with the needy.
Even when we have more than enough we are afraid to share; we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth.
We live the privileged life.
We’ve plenty of food, water, and shelter.
We have watches, bicycles, computers, and television sets. The list could go on for two days.
Two days ago, here in Brazil, we were shocked when we spent time with some children living on the streets.
This is what one child told us: "I wish I was rich and if I were, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicines, shelter, and love and affection."
If a child on the streets who has nothing is willing to share, why are we who have everything still so greedy?
I can’t stop thinking that these are children my own age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born; that I could be one of those children living in the Favelas of Rio.
I am only a child, yet I know if all the money spent on war was spent on finding environmental answers ending poverty and in finding treaties, what a wonderful place this Earth would be.
At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. To not to fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to share, not be greedy.
Then, why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
We are your own children. You are deciding what kind of a world we are growing up in.
Parents should be able to comfort their children by saying "Everything's going to be all right; it’s not the end of the world, and we're doing the best we can."
But I don’t think you can say that to us anymore.
Are we even on your list of priorities?
My dad always says "You are what you do, not what you say."
Well, what you do makes me cry at night.
You grown-ups say you love us. But I challenge you, please,
make your actions reflect your words.
"the beautifully layered, very dreamy and elevating sound of the French group, which effectively utilizes voice samples to underline its score nature, sits comfortably between the likes of Mono and Bruit ≤ and has enough profound substance to easily carry you on its waves if you let yourself fall into it. Unless you're a mermaid of course."

BRUIT fait partie de ces groupes qui se découvrent surtout en live.
Une claque de tous les instants, à chaque mesure.
Du son des cordes magnifiques à la guitare qui nous enrobe, le voyage est exceptionnel et en vaut la chandelle.
Merci encore 🙏 kevinoudard
