[Verse 1]
Ice and rock beneath the northern sky
Greenland holds what money cannot buy
Shortest routes from East to Western shore
Rare earth metals buried in its core
China's Belt and Road meets Arctic dreams
While America guards its northern schemes
[Chorus]
Three questions shape our world today
G-E-M will light the way
Greenland's ice, Energy's shift
Middle East adrift, adrift
When the old powers fade away
New dependencies hold sway
[Verse 2]
Solar panels need lithium to shine
Wind turbines require rare earth design
Coal and oil we're learning to replace
But cobalt mines control the human race
Democratic Congo holds the key
While China builds our green technology
[Chorus]
Three questions shape our world today
G-E-M will light the way
Greenland's ice, Energy's shift
Middle East adrift, adrift
When the old powers fade away
New dependencies hold sway
[Bridge]
From Riyadh to Tehran they wonder
When oil wealth gets torn asunder
Will they pivot, will they fall
When the world stops needing all
That black gold beneath the sand
What new future will they plan
[Verse 3]
Saudi Vision Twenty-Thirty's born
As petroleum loses its thorn
Tourism, tech, and cities new
While Iran seeks nuclear breakthrough
Regional powers realign their might
When energy changes overnight
[Chorus]
Three questions shape our world today
G-E-M will light the way
Greenland's ice, Energy's shift
Middle East adrift, adrift
When the old powers fade away
New dependencies hold sway
[Outro]
Arctic routes and battery chains
Middle Eastern shifting reigns
Geography still rules the game
Though the players aren't the same
G-E-M, remember well
These three stories time will tell
