Climate activists in Germany pledge to defend a small village from being destroyed by the expansion of a nearby coal mine. The issue has become a battleground between the government and environmentalists.

In a village small and true,
Climate activists pledged anew
To defend it from the mining crew
And the coal that they would accrue
The mine expansion faced resistance
From environmentalists' persistence
It had become a battleground
For the future of the town
But the activists stood their ground
Determined to keep the coal unbound
They vowed to protect this little gem
From the destruction of the coal stem
So let the bulldozers try their worst
The activists will stand up first
For the sake of the earth, they will fight
And the future they will make right.
