a few degrees

it doesn't take much

to warm a planet

or raise the seas

just a few degrees

it doesn't take much

to whip the winds

across the plains

or end a drought

with thirsty rain

just a few degrees

it doesn't take much

to burn with passion

to laugh from joy

or cry from pain

just a few degrees

it doesn't take much

a hateful word

or a loving touch

to see the world

as round with hope

or flat with despair

it doesn't take much

just a few degrees
