"SAVE THE EARTH"
Written by Dotti Holmberg-Waddell
VERSE 1: We
need resources from our earth
We need to find ways to preserve..
The minerals, trees, pure water, blue sky
The animals, birds and fish--or they will die.
CHORUS:
Take a look around at what we're doing
Pollution’s
growing fast and causing ruin
We
need to take control, we cannot wait
Save
the earth, get involved, start today.
VERSE 2: You
can help by planting trees
They
give back oxygen to you and me
Use
products that won't harm the earth
Toxic
wastes can only hurt.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 3: Don't
dump waste into our water
It poisons the fish and we
all suffer
Recycle
waste like papers and bottles
We
need to have hope for our children of tomorrow.
"Ooh" ON CHORUS MELODY
VERSE 4: Conserve
energy; electric and heating
The
ozone layer has taken a beating
With
too much burning of fossil fuels,
Acid
rain is falling on me and you.
BRIDGE 1: Global
warming, the greenhouse effect;
When the earth receives heat from the sun,
It radiates heat back into space
Creating a climate for everyone.
BRIDGE 2: But
when our toxic gases get trapped in the ozone layer,
They weaken it and our protection from the sun's harmful rays...
Heating up our earth and creating an imbalance with nature--
Let's do our part to correct the greenhouse effect.
"BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH" (3 TIMES)
VERSE 5: Help
put the earth back into balance
Contribute
ideas, take some action
Create
clean energy, don't pollute
Caring
for our earth is up to me and you.
REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES
ENDING (EVERYONE SPEAKING):
"TAKE A LOOK AROUND AT
WHAT WE'RE DOING"
