This is our world

Words and Music by Joanna Forbes and Alexander L’Estrange.

Save

This is a sophisticated part-song, written as a rock ballad, which conveys strong messages about the role of young people as caretakers of the planet. There are two versions: one sung in two parts which could be tackled by a choir or a class of confident upper junior singers, plus a more challenging four-part version, which is a real show-stopper!
