From death and destruction of our life today
From windswept mountains to sunny shores
from deep lakes to oceans roar
just look at the beauty,our earth has in store
From exotic lands to great history too
from ancient civilisations that came before you
Life is a wonder of which we have a part to play
With creatures unique and special ,in very unusual ways
From birds with colour and beauty too
Animals which amaze us which are becoming extinct too
and fish which swim deep below us too
Do a little something and help to
make a little difference and nature
will stay beautiful for you
As towns are built and skyscrapers too
as grass disappears, they call this progress for you
Where will it go where will it end
as man drives nature mad and forms this planets end
What will there be for generations to come.
A barren desert where has the beauty gone
Starvation famine drought and floods we will see
Strong winds will ravage the earth
and destroy our destiny
lots of talk happens each day
In this world we live in today
Action is important and people too
is it to late it started way back too
Our planet is so fragile and now it gets so warm too
As rains forests have gone and the ecological systems destroyed too
Man has done all this we see
for greed they chop a few more each day
Oh there’s loads over there
they wont miss these today
Do they care what they do
or what they say
No its dollars in the pockets, and life of luxury they see
As they walk past beggars, and leave people in poverty
They say technology is future,and is the key
As it takes away people’s jobs lets face reality
As people starve and get poorer each day
as people get illnesses they never had before
as pollution gets worse each day
Through death and destruction of our life today
Remember this is our planet too
And life is for living and giving too
Think of life and help save us today
Treat the planet earth with kindness
and don’t destroy it and civilization this way
