Planet Earth
Planet Earth is the place to live
Take care of your planet
So you can breathe
Do your share
Preserve the land
Take care of the air
Maintain the water clean
Star Light, Star Bright
Star Light, Star Bright
What is it I wish to glimpse at tonight?
I wish to view a spectacular sight
Where I may gaze from a mountain’s delight
Under the moon and stars’ light
After climbing and reaching the mountain’s peak
I will look down and stare at the ocean and feel the breeze
Afterward, I will think carefully about what I truly seek
I’m in quest of peace on Earth
Praying that there will be no more wars
So that the young, old and middle-aged will be safe
No more unnecessary dying, crippling or pain
Only faith, love and kindness and then we will all gain from a safer world to raise children of every race
