Island of life spinning round
and round
Carrying the creatures that you and I have found
All of this life different yet alike
We are living we are
living things
Animals and plants and things
too small to see
Living almost everywhere living so simply
From the Antarctic ice to the frozen Bering Sea
There are living There are living things
Nonliving things like the sun, air, and minerals
Are used by living things
We can use them but we must be careful
Not to harm the Earth
It is our friend don’t let it hurt
I want clean rivers I want to
swim in lakes
I want to hike the backwoods I want to participate
On the island of life spinning round and round
Caring for the creatures that you and I have found
All of this life different yet
alike
We are living we are living things
