WILDLIFE WARRIORS: IT'S TIME
- JOHN WILLIAMSON:

$1 from the sale of this CD is donated to Wildlife Warriors Worldwide.

People across Australia and the world are being urged to support a major new CD 'Wildlife Warriors: It's Time' containing John Williamson's most important environmental songs many of which were an inspiration to Steve Irwin.

The powerful new CD features one of John Williamson's angriest ever songs 'Wildlife Warriors: It's Time' written about the need to protect the bush and our native animals, for which John and Steve Irwin shared an immense passion. The song was written by John within hours of the emotionally charged Steve Irwin Memorial Service.

John Williamson says that Steve Irwin's messages were so critical and we must all get angry about what is happening to our environment and the bush. IT'S TIME, we all became 'Wildlife Warriors'.

The song is the leading track on a new CD of John Williamson's most important environmental songs, many of which were an inspiration to Steve Irwin. It's expected the CD will raise tens of thousands of dollars to support Wildlife Warriors. John Williamson is an ambassador for the cause.

This song is to encourage Aussies (and maybe people of the world) to stand up for their areas of native bush. We are destroying paradise at an alarming rate."

WILDLIFE WARRIORS: IT'S TIME

by John Williamson

It's time to think of why we're proud to be a part of
A land so ancient, so hard to get a hold of
Why the kangaroo and emu is on the baggy green
Why do we sing of coolabahs, billabongs and cockatoos
Do we really care, are we aware of what we lose
While we knock it down again and again and again

C'mon wattle soldiers, wildlife warriors get angry
They'll call you green, they'll call you red
Just stay strong and turn your head
And think of little bilbies and gliders and rare wallabies
Now's the time to stir again
It's time, it's time, it's time, it's time, IT'S TIME

Yeah, it's time to stop the slaughter of our native land
No more telling lies, drawing lines in the sand
Maybe we didn't know but surely now it's underhand
No more crocodile tears, did he die in vain
Did he make us cry, did he suffer all his pain
So we could knock it down again and again and again
