about

Climate emergency is on everybody's minds these days. This song uses the symbol of the adaptive powers of the Chameleon to represent the kind of flexibility we need in order to put right the negative impact human beings have had on our fragile planet. Corona virus could become the trigger for a change of values in our global economy causing us to replace the false god of eternal economic growth, which comes with an ever increasing cost to the environment, with a sustainable economics which is no longer profit driven but which seeks to heal the damage of the past century and puts the mental health and the physical wellbeing of all the peoples and lifeforms of the Earth, as the markers of success.

lyrics

Chameleon Regeneration
(words and music Roy Jones)

Manic machines have been pounding, grinding
For over a century now
Blasting rocks, drilling deep
Creating cities and cyber space
Can we stop?
Can we turn 'round
And respect the ecosystem?
Or will relentless pursuit
Of power and wealth
Be the death knell
Of our civilisation?

Chameleon regeneration
Restore the Earth
Chameleon regeneration
Rise up!

People are not a means to an end
Their welfare is our priority
But we won't sacrifice our world
To endless corporate bribery
We can stop
We can turn around
And respect the ecosystem
Fight the darkness of greed
With the light of compassion
Adapt, reshape in harmony

Chameleon regeneration
Restore the Earth
Chameleon regeneration
Rise up!

Corona virus is a trigger
To reshape this failing system
Replace economic growth
With equality and freedom
Together we can fight the greed
And endless exploitation
And free the world of toxic,
Carbon-warming military demons

Chameleon regeneration
Restore the Earth
Chameleon regeneration
Rise up!

Chameleon regeneration
Restore the Earth
Chameleon regeneration
Rise up!
