Be kind to the river

Be good to the trees

Smile at the sunshine

And bow to the breeze

Say "thanks for the perfume"

Of every flower you sniff

What a world

What a place

What a gift



Respect the deer and buffalo

The lion and tiger too

Be kind to dogs and pussycats

And they'll be kind to you

Take care of the forest

And fish in the sea

Look after the beetle

The ant and the bee

Say "thanks for the raindrops"

And all the clouds that drift

They're for you

They're for me

They're a gift



They're for you

They're for me

They're for everyone

They're a gift
