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
