Before It's Too Late

The Earth is our home
The home of little animals
Who run through the land
The hills and mountains and the trees
The Earth is our home
The only one we’ve ever known
So why do we keep hurting it
By dumping garbage in its lands
Where we could grow food
By putting gases into the air
That we need so dearly
By placing acids in the seas
And oceans and bodies of water
When we need water to live
Why do we kill the little animals
Who’ve done nothing wrong
Why do we build more buildings
Instead of replacing the old
The Earth is our home
The only one we’ve ever known
And the only one we’ll ever know
So why don’t we start protect it
Instead of hurt it
Before it’s too late.
