Song für den Klimaschutz

Bonn, 12.1.2022 (KAP/KNA) Der deutsche Priester und Musiker Norbert Becker (59) setzt sich mit einem selbstkomponierten Lied für den Klimaschutz ein. Der Song mit dem Titel "Fridays for Future" ist online auf YouTube zu hören, wie die Diözese Münster mitteilte. Im Mittelpunkt des englischsprachigen Liedes stehen die Anliegen der gleichnamigen Klimaschutzinitiative. Übersetzt heiße es etwa im Refrain: "Gottes Schöpfung ist gefährdet, dafür können wir nicht blind sein."

Der Schutz des Klimas sei eine Überlebensfrage der Menschheit, erklärte der Pater, der den Herz-Jesu-Missionaren angehört. Getextet hat das Lied laut Angaben ein ehemaliger Lehrer und Kollege von Becker. (Video und Lied von Norbert Becker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvwYpTtSvCk)

Auch andere Songs wurden schon in Vorjahren produziert und in Umlauf gebracht!
Hier noch zwei weitere Beispiele:

Opus - Greta the living proof

A SUMMER‘S SCHOOLDAY IN SWEDEN
ONE SINGLE GIRL DOWN ON THE STREET
SITTING AND HOLDING A BANNER
DIDN’T LOOK SO EXCITING INDEED

BUT ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER
THERE ARE A MILLION FOLKS ON THE STREET
MARCHING AND CHANTING, HOLDING THOUSANDS OF BANNERS

CHALLENGING A SYSTEM IN NEED

SEE HOW ONE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
BE THE FIRST TO MOVE
WE COULD REARRANGE THE WORLD
JUST LIKE GRETA, THE LIVING PROOF

REMEMBER MOSES WHO SAVED THE JEWS
OR MAHATMA BRAVING THE BRITS
EDWARD S. WHO REVEALED THE TRUTH
ABOUT THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BITS

THE LIST IS LONG AND JUST A FEW ARE KNOWN
MOST ARE DEEPLY LOST IN HISTORY‘S HAZE
IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING YET THEIR SEEDS WERE GROWN
NO MATTER IF YOU CAN FOLLOW THE TRACE

SEE HOW ONE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD….
IF THE TIME IS RIPE AND RIGHT‘S THE LOCATION DREAMS AND VISIONS CAN REALLY COME TRUE WITH COURAGE, ENDURANCE AND PATIENCE THE FACE OF THE EARTH WILL BE NEW…

SEE HOW ONE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD….

SHE’S GONNA CHANGE THE WORLD
SHE MADE THE MOVE
WE COULD REARRANGE THE WORLD
JUST LIKE GRETA, THE LIVING PROOF

JUST LIKE GRETA – GRETA, GRETA,
JUST LIKE GRETA, THE LIVING PROOF…

WE COULD REARRANGE THE WORLD
JUST LIKE GRETA, THE LIVING PROOF

JUST LIKE GRETA – GRETA, GRETA,
JUST LIKE GRETA, THE LIVING PROOF…

Opus - Hold on 

HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
GOD MADE THIS WORLD FOR EVERYONE
HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
YOU KNOW THIS WORLD IS THE ONLY ONE
SO HOLD ON

WHO’S GONNA HELP YOU
WHO’S GONNA FIND YOU A HOME
WHO’S GONNA LEAD YOU
WHEN YOU’RE ALL ALONE
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL TREATED UNFAIR
THERE’S NO DOUBTS THAT WE HAVE TO CARE

HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
GOD MADE THIS WORLD FOR EVERYONE
HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
YOU KNOW THIS WORLD IS THE ONLY ONE
SO HOLD ON
HOLD ON, HOLD ON
HOLD ON, HOLD ON

WE DESTROY OUR NATURE
WE CONTAMINATE OUR AIR
WE POISON OUR RIVERS
AND KILL OUR ATMOSPHERE
IT LOOKS LIKE OUR PLANET IS TREATED UNFAIR
THERE IS NO DOUBTS THAT WE HAVE TO CARE

HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
GOD MADE THIS WORLD FOR EVERYONE
HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
YOU KNOW THIS WORLD IS THE ONLY ONE
SO HOLD ON

WHO KNOWS THE FUTURE, THE END OF THE WORLD
WE LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY
THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN, WHAT SHALL I SAY
DON’T TAKE THEIR BREATH AWAY

HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
GOD MADE THIS WORLD FOR EVERYONE
HOLD ON, PEOPLE HOLD ON,
YOU KNOW THIS WORLD IS THE ONLY ONE
SO HOLD ON
HOLD ON, HOLD ON
HOLD ON, HOLD ON
