 Burning Issue was written for music sessions with the Primary 3 class in Oakgrove Primary School, Glasgow, as part of the Electricity topic they were studying. This song focuses on the sustainable energy section of the topic. We split the class into four groups with each group singing a verse on their own. For the performance each group created different actions to accompany the words and we performed the last verse together in a round to symbolise the everlasting nature of renewable energies. Set to the tune of London's Burning it is very easy for children to learn.  Click to enlarge. | Burning Issue By Russell Porter Oil is burning, oil is burning, Drill for more, drill for more. This won’t sustain, this won’t sustain, What can we do? What can we do? ----- Wind is blowing, wind is blowing, Feel its power, feel its power. Turns the windmill, turns the windmill, Electricity, for you and me! ----- Sun is shining, sun is shining, Soak up the rays, soak up the rays. Solar panels, solar panels, Electricity, for you and me! ----- Waves are crashing, waves are crashing, Don’t get swept away, don’t get swept away. Turns the turbine, turns the turbine, Electricity, for you and me! ----- Wind is blowing, sun is shining, Waves keep crashing, everlasting. This will sustain, this will sustain, That’s what we’ll do, that’s what we’ll do! ----- |
