Oh, my mom
Earth dot com
You have trees
Giving me breeze
Feed me grain
Nourish my brain
Thy milk is green
I can't wean
We are one
Move around sun
You are me
Do you 'gree?
We ain,t two
I am you
Some species wild
Have no child
'Help, oh, help' crying
They are dying
Love them all
On this Ball
The fact is to face
Save their race
They should survive
Keep them alive
