๐ Lyrics
I am David Attenborough and I'm 93
This is my witness statement
I've had the most extraordinary life
It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary
I've been lucky enough to spend my life
Exploring the wild places of our planet
I've travelled to almost every part of the globe
Wherever I went, there was wilderness
Sparkling coastal seas, vast forests, immense grasslands
But that distant world is changing
The way we humans live on earth is sending it into a decline
If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations
And the extinction of much of the natural world, is on the horizon
In this world, a species can only thrive
When everything else around it thrives, too
We can solve the problems we now face by embracing this reality
If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us
This is my witness statement
I've had the most extraordinary life
It's only now that I appreciate how extraordinary
I've been lucky enough to spend my life
Exploring the wild places of our planet
I've travelled to almost every part of the globe
Wherever I went, there was wilderness
Sparkling coastal seas, vast forests, immense grasslands
But that distant world is changing
The way we humans live on earth is sending it into a decline
If we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations
And the extinction of much of the natural world, is on the horizon
In this world, a species can only thrive
When everything else around it thrives, too
We can solve the problems we now face by embracing this reality
If we take care of nature, nature will take care of us
