Can You Hear Me

By Lala

Earth’s Cry for Help

[Verse 1]

I used to wear snow on mountain peaks,

Breathe clean winds and frozen creeks.

Now my skies burn with a silent scream,

And oceans boil in a shattered dream.

[Verse 2]

You cut the trees that cooled my skin,

Built your cities, poured your sin.

Now I sweat through every season,

My balance lost, without a reason.

[Chorus]

Can you hear me? I’m breaking apart.

Melting glaciers, a fevered heart.

I gave you life, now I bleed in return—

Will you act before I burn?

I’m not infinite. I’m not invincible.

I need your hands to be responsible.

[Verse 3]

You fill my lungs with choking smoke,

My rivers die beneath your cloak.

Plastic wraps around my shore,

I can’t breathe like I did before.

Fish swim in poison, skies are gray,

And yet you look the other way.

Oil spills where coral grew,

Tell me — what did I ever do to you?

[Bridge ]

I held you gently when you were small,

Fed you, healed you through it all.

But now you take more than you give,

If you keep this up — how will I live?

[Final Chorus]

Can you hear me? The time is near,

Your future trembles, full of fear.

But there’s still hope, if you believe,

If you plant, protect, and start to grieve—

For what is lost, but not yet gone,

Together we can right this wrong.
