lyrics

We won’t sit and watch our world be chopped to the ground
We will stand up, stand up tall and look all around
We won’t sit and watch our world be destroyed
We will stand up, stand up tall and shout to the world.

We’re doing it, We’re doing it now, We’re doing it for the forest
We’re doing it, We’re doing it now, We’re doing it for the forest

Welcome back Colette, welcome back Colette
Welcome back Colette, welcome back Colette
We are walking
With the wild world

Don’t lock us up
Don’t lock us out
Don’t lock us in
We’ll keep locking on

etc..
