One World, Our World
Let the river
flow where it will
Our eyes will see
what they must
we depend on it
and the plants
it nourishes
We depend on it
for its flowering waters
we depend on it
for daytime
and nightfall
the seasons form
the perimeter
of this world
as it blows
hot and cold
Let's not forget
what we owe
this planet
We are the stewards
and the life
we take from this blue orb
should not be
taken too lightly
Together we can
save the creatures
of this world
Together we can
forget petty differences and
work together
for the dream
of a planet
restored
Our work
will take us from the
depths of the
ocean
to the heights of
the Himalayas
Take a deep breath!
Recognize the kinship of all life!
AND ACT!
