And the air smells pollution

When you feel like its all pilling up

Remember there is a solution

Theres something each of us can do

To keep the rivers clean

To keep fresh the air we breathe

And keep the forest green

Help clean a beach

Or recycle bottles and cans

Learn about the problems we face

And help others understand

It doesnt have to be a lot

If we each just do our share

So take time out on each day

To show the Earth you care
