Our Earth has lots of plants and trees
And monkeys and zebras and lots of bees
Many plateaus and mountains and oceans and plains
Islands and valleys and lions with manes
Clouds and sunshine and sometimes a rainbow
Thank you dear Earth for the soil in which seeds we sow
Thank you for letting us breathe in your air
Giving home to birds and butterflies and giraffes and bears
For protecting us from the rays of the sun
For letting us build our homes, thanks a ton
Helping us enjoy the summers and the winters
Being a wonderful home to beavers and tigers and otters
You have a strong pull of gravity
Amazing natural beauty and incredible diversity
You are the third planet from the Sun
The award of life you have won
You have glaciers and coral and the Northern Lights
It is so lovely lying down on you and see the stars at night
In your water there are many amazing things
You have enough gold to make a billion golden rings
You have the perfect position
To protect you is our mission
