Tuvalu, Tuvalu - Iftikhar Ayaz

Tuvalu, Tuvalu –

Our home and friend

Our birth place – And end

We love you

There comes a time when we need to call

When the world must come together one and all.

To save people dying

It’s time to lend a hand

And everyone should take a stand

We can’t go on pretending day by day

That all the problems will just go away

We are all a part of God’s creation

So we need the hand of love from every nation

We are the world and we are all one

So lets start doing what needs to be done

There’s a choice we need to make

To protect our beloved Tuvalu at stake

It’s true we’ll make the best choice

To help Tuvalu and listen to their Voice

Send them the resources so they know that you care

So their lives will be saved and free from despair

It is a Mayday call to COP26

Tuvalu cannot be ignored

And the climate devastation must be fixed

We must take heed before it is too late

And all our hearts will be filled with grief

If Tuvalu sinks to the bottom of the coral reef.

Tuvalu, Tuvalu –

Our home and friend

Our birth place – and end

We love you.
