The human race has done much harm.
We have polluted our soils and seas,
And cut down too much trees.
Now is the time to sound the alarm.
We want to live in a world that's clean;
We want to live in a world of green.
The human race has done much harm;
Now is the time to sound the alarm.
Let's be thankful for the skies above;
Let's plant new trees and stop pollution;
Let's work together to find the solution;
The Earth's our home to protect and love.
