There is a pressure rising

There is a pressure rising
One that will not be contained
There is a pressure rising
Fuelled by fire and a little shame

"Why did we not act before?
Why aren't we acting now?
Could I be doing more?
How do we make a change? How?"

There is a pressure rising
Look, the leaks begin to show!
There is a pressure rising
Where can that pressure go?

"Don't show your outrage like this
Don't show your outrage like that?
Let us live our bliss
Until the day our Earth falls flat."

There is a pressure rising
It bubbles from within
There is a pressure rising
And it will not give in

We can EITHER heed the warning
And go in and face the cause
Now is not the time for mourning
Now is not the time for pause

OR we can prepare to face the day
When all the pressure goes
Takes us out along the way
Payment for our comatose

It will not be easy riding
But we're faced with little choice
There is a pressure rising
And all we have is voice

Yet I believe in an Earth
Where humanity can change it's core
So maybe we finally prove our worth
And help the pressure rise, no more
