I am a mighty polar bear
Who never did do wrong,
I raised a family of my own
And once my will was strong,
I liked to wander far and wide
Across the caps I'd roam,
But every year things seemed to change
It feels no longer home.
My world is falling to the sea
I've had to pay the price,
I have nowhere that I can live
My land is melting ice.
I am an Emperor penguin
And I have a tale to tell,
I raised a family of my own
Together we did dwell,
Each egg I cradled carefully
While bitter winds did blow,
But every year things seemed to change
I watched it slowly go.
My world is falling to the sea
I've had to pay the price,
I have nowhere that I can live
My land is melting ice.
I am a lonely Arctic seal
Who's resting on the shore,
So many of us used to come
In years that passed before,
But sadly now I'm all-alone
My friends no longer here,
Yet still I wait in yearning
That one day they shall appear.
My world is falling to the sea
I've had to pay the price,
I have nowhere that I can live
My land is melting ice.
