Notre Dame

The museum rang
To ask for some help
Could we loan them a painting
Which one shall we share
Which one from the vault
Which one would be the most entertaining
So we sent our driver
Along with the poolboy
For us it would be too draining
And we shared our treasure
For us it’s a pleasure
What we offer is truly amazing

Think of the good that we do for our globe
Notice how we make a difference
Where we go we generate hope
And receive our well-deserved reverence
Think of the good that we do for our globe

We all held our breath
As she went down in flames
The cathedral collapsed in ruins
Our hearts were heavy
Our minds were sad
Thankfully no loss of humans
But the treasures were burnt
And the relics destroyed
It was almost our undoing
So we donated money
Were generous and caring
This was the right thing to be doing

Think of the good that we do for our globe
Notice how we make a difference
Where we go we generate hope
And receive our well-deserved reverence
Think of the good that we do for our globe

We cannot see the dead and the dying
The hungry, the ill and the poor
Plastic soup, mass extinction
Severe air pollution
We can’t be everyone’s saviour
We won’t be everyone’s saviour

Think of the good that we do for our globe
Notice how we make a difference
Where we go we generate hope
And receive our well-deserved reverence
Think of the good that we do for our globe
