Text
The Earth Is In Our Care By Noreen Inglesi
Verse 1
The future of our planet
Is a story to be told
Scientists hold the key
To changes that are bold Electric cars with batteries Protect the air we breath
Solar panes will heat our homes Sun’s power’s all we need.
Refrain
Stand up, reach out
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Singing in one song
Stand up, reach out
To people everywhere Together we can do our part For the Earth that’s in our care
Verse 2
The land is our legacy Preserved and specially shared It’s our job to nurture it
It’s sacred for our air
When we walk upon it
Where acorns dress the ground We’ll try to be more frugal
And leave more than we found
Refrain
Stand up, reach out
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Singing in one song
Stand up, reach out
To people everywhere Together we can do our part For the Earth that’s in our care
Bridge
Verse 3
Wind energy converters
Fill our homes with light Reducing need for fossil fuel Helps make our future bright Revitalizing neighborhoods Or living off the land
Mindful of what’s tossed away Will make our future grand.
Refrain
Stand up, reach out
Together we are strong
Let us use our voices
Singing in one song
Stand up, reach out
To people everywhere Together we can do our part For the Earth that’s in our care
This precious Earth is in our care.
