Earth Day
Earth day
I am the earth
And the Earth is me,
Each blade of grass
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally,
Thats why we
Celebrate this day.
Thats why across
the world we say:
As long as life,
As dear,as free
I am the earth
And the Earth is me,
Each blade of grass
Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud,
And stick and stone
Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I
Need every bit
Of me to make
My body fit,
So Earth needs
Grass and stone and tree
And things that grow here
Naturally,
Thats why we
Celebrate this day.
Thats why across
the world we say:
As long as life,
As dear,as free
I am the earth
And the Earth is me.
