God gave us a beautiful planet called Earth
But we keep filling it with dirt.
We eat a sweet
And throw the paper on the street.
We chop down trees to make a fire
And the harmful smoke rises higher and higher.
We just don’t care about the trees
Or a fresh clean blowing breeze.
So, my dear friends, pick up a paper or plant a tree,
Save a little bird or a bee.
We need to start loving our earth,
We need to realise what it’s worth.
We can all do something,
In some little way,
To save our planet from destruction today.
