When the world has started to form,
Who made it, do you know?
Yes, mother nature, the greatest of all,
Who made many things, including the pine cone.
The Amazon rainforest, Nile River,
Mount Everest, many beautiful things,
Animals, the parts of trees,
And all of the others, to pretty bird wings.
Or, when the sun rises and as the wind blows,
And the way the flowers sway, to a rhythmic way,
Everything, thanks to mother nature,
They all bring us happiness and joy.
But what have we done, we humans, oh no!
All the harsh pollution, which blocks the Sun's light,
All the things people do, are against the world,
Mother Nature stands no more, she fights and she fights.
Oh! poor Mother Nature, how sorrowful is she?
And we humans, all mean, destroy and hurt her more.
Let's get-together, and protect our own world,
And this little planet, our sweet, little home.
