Plastic Tides Lyrics

Every ecosystem on earth is affected by plastic

From the land to the rivers to the seas

Plastic makes its journey with ease

From microplastics, to microfibers, to microbeads

It goes wherever it may please

Caught in the winds of oceans Swept along in the tide

It travels to far off lands

Thousands of miles from its source

Then finally washed ashore

On beaches of pristine sands

Plastic waves of polyethylene terephthalate

Polyvinyl chloride

Polystyrene

Polylactic acid

Nylon, rayon

And acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

Food and beverages contain tiny pieces of plastic

For years countries have dumped their waste

Raw sewage

Radioactive-based contaminants And plastics into the world's oceans

Over time, algae and worms Bacteria and germs

Stow away on plastic rafts

Thousands of miles they will drift

To some far off distant shore

Clinging to their sturdy craft

To be finally washed ashore

On beaches of pristine sands

Plastic waves of polyethylene terephthalate

Polyvinyl chloride

Polystyrene

Polylactic acid

Nylon, rayon

And acrylonitrile butadiene styrene

Caught in the winds of oceans

Swept along in the tide

Traveling to far off lands Thousands of miles from its source

Then finally washed ashore

On beaches of pristine sands

On beaches of pristine sands

Beaches of pristine sands

Beaches of pristine sands
