Peter is smart, he knows each European country by heart He likes to sit under an apple tree on his yard And wait for an apple to fall When Peter is nine, His teacher tells him that this planet is dying That someone needs to put an end to it all And so when Peter comes home, he tells his mom:
I’m going out in the world to save our planet And I ain’t coming back until she’s saved I’ll walk my way To see the king and parliament If they don’t help, I’ll do it by myself I don’t wanna be… Dadadam dadadam dadadada dadada dadam…
Peter is young, he tries to talk, But no one listens to him Everybody’s busy living and dying, Not thinking about what they’re doing. But look at the boy Who went out in the world to save our planet And he ain’t coming back until she’s saved He walked his way To see the king and parliament But they all turned their heads and walked away, singing:
And now I’m going out in the world to save our planet And I ain’t coming back until she’s saved I’m walking in the footsteps that young Peter made And everybody is welcome to join, and sing with me:
