With the pesticides they killed the Bees
With the chain saws they cut down the trees
With the plastic they polluted the rivers and streams
How can we look forward to a bright future, how can we dream

There has got to be a better way
Trees can be replanted so we can have more to eat
We can find better ways to live, we don’t need to accept defeat

We can accept that there is an ecosystem in place
We wouldn’t be destroying it, if we could try to put a smile on every face
We should realize that there will be more hungry people on earth
When we don’t stop to think of the having a healthy environment and what that is worth

Humans can only survive and thrive when we treat the earth in the right way
And now it is becoming clear that we can’t afford to listen to what some of the scientists say
Why didn’t they encourage the replanting of trees long ago
Why did they wait until there is so much poverty and sorrow
We can’t afford to look at what is easy to do and ignore the facts anymore
There are teenagers who demonstrate because they want a future that is secure
Now you can spread the word about the need for environmental protection in a new way
Let us all work towards having a bright future today


True, we are stripping resources of small countries to justify the bad motives of the larger. Prayer helps because it brings out the best in us and the environment. Ty🙏🏾
