about

Based on lines from Dr Martin Luther King Jr, this song visualises aspects of the climate crisis

lyrics

I have been to the mountain,
I have seen the promised land,
Tell me will we get there?
I have seen the storm clouds forming,
so it must be near at hand,
Tell me, will we get there?
How long?
Not long

I have been to the mountain ... etc
I have seen the salted rivers,
seen the drifting level sand,
Tell me, will we get there?
How long?
Not long

I have been to the mountain ... etc
I have seen the glittering forest,
seen the dark crevasses spanned,
Tell me, will we get there?
How long?
Not long
