We Live In A Beautiful World

We Live In A Beautiful World

We live in a beautiful world

Flowers hanging like pearls

Beautiful butterflies drifting on by

Birds soaring up in the deep blue skies

Creatures crawling and creeping around 

Birds swooping making a choral sound 

Lush green grass lies like a soft blanket 

A medley of fresh flowers that you can cut 

Trees standing tall like a century guard 

Massive mountains making a picture postcard 

Rivers that trickle, bubble and run

Sumptuous seas, waves glistening in the sun 

Our human race is polluting its beauty 

Protecting the environment is our duty

Suffocating the land and sea with plastics

When our world is beautiful and fantastic 

Our human hearts, souls and minds 

All intertwined and making us kind 

Our eyes see the glory laid out before us 

Humans are far from superfluous 

We live in a beautiful world 

And every day it’s beauty unfurls
