The Planet

I cant believe it's happening
Most people do not care
But everyone is guilty
Of putting a hole in the ozone layer

The time has come to think about
Just what we're going to do
The polar caps are melting 
And the animals suffer to

They say look to the future
But the future's looking bleak
To chop down a rain forest
May only take a week

We need to stop all fighting
We don't have time to row
We need to save our planet
And we need to save it now
