Warning, Warning, Warning, Warning, Warning ... (To the world)
Warning, warning, warning, warning,
Climate Change is happening
We got to do something no doubt 
To the world, we're calling out 

CHORUS
See the signs, they all reveal
That global Climate Change is real 
It's not a matter of when or how 
Climate Change is happening now 

Sea levels are rising globally
We’re losing our beaches constantly
Summers are hotter than they used to be
Stronger hurricanes more frequently. (You seeit)

Severe flooding, longer droughts
That’s what climate change is all about

We have to do what we have to do
We’ve got to prepare 
Start by being aware

Yo, a long time, we a upset the ecology
Know climate change is a reality
So strange with the changes all year round
We can’t stop it, but we can slow it down
Small Islands will feel it the most 
Especially the people dem who deh pon the coast
We’re losing the reefs and the beaches 
rapidly inna coastal communities

CHORUS
See the signs, they all reveal 
That global climate change is real 
It's not a matter of when or how
Climate change is happening now

Watch Dis
They’re burning the garbage everywhere,
They’re cutting down the trees.
Pollution in the air (Mummy, I can’t breathe. “I know, my love".)

To adapt to the ever-changing climate 
some lifestyle changes we got to mek
Emission of gases we have to reduce 
Turn off the lights when they’re not in use
So much of the warming changes we see 
Are caused by human activity.
Chemicals poisoning the air (poisoning the air)
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

This is a warning! 
Warning, warning, warning, warning warning
Climate change is happening and real
We’ve got to do something
Act now. Oh yeah  

CHORUS
It's not a matter of when or how 
Climate change is happening now
See the signs, they all reveal 
that global climate change is real 

CHORUS
It's not a matter of when or how 
Climate change is happening now
See the signs, they all reveal 
that global climate change is real
