Don'T Let It Slip Away
Don’t Let it Slip Away
Some people hide, from the truth that they see
The ice caps are melting, they flow to the sea.
The beaches are growing a bit smaller each day
Someday all islands might disappear, go away
When the humans are using all the worlds’ greatest gifts
Think of the torture, the smog, you must make a shift.
When the people can go and throw big things in trash
And thinking that burning means nothing but ash
Burning means smog and smog means thick smoke
Dirty air making us all cough and choke
What can we do as a small little part?
Seeing our world change is breaking my heart.
Seeing the damage we have done to our land
How much more can anyone stand?
Listen to others who have done work to learn
How to reuse materials without melting to burn
When we take all the trash that we already used
Put it together for housing, you really must choose
What is better for life in the long run someday
When our beautiful earth just slips slowly away.
