Earth Day Songs

Trees
Trees are the kindest things I know,
They do no harm, they simply grow
And spread a shade for sleepy cows,
And gather birds among their bows.

They give us fruit in leaves above,
And wood to make our houses of,
And leaves to burn on Halloween
And in the Spring new buds of green.

They are first when day's begun
To tough the beams of morning sun,
They are the last to fold the light
When the evening changes into night.

And when a moon floats on the sky
They hum a drowsy lullaby
Of sleepy children long ago...
Trees are the kidest things I know.

What Do We Plant?
What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the ship, which will cross the sea.

What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the house for you and me.

What do we plant when we plant the tree?
A thousand things that we daily see.

What do we plant when we plant the tree?
We plant the shade, from the hot sun free.

God Made the Trees
God made the trees
God made the leaves
God says "Please save these!"

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (sung to: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider")
Reduce, reuse, recycle words that we all know
We have to save our planet so that we can live and grow.
We might be only children, but we will try you'll see,
And we can save this planet, it starts with you and me!

Recycle (sung to: "Twinkle, Twinkle")
We recycle what we use,
Seperate things and you should too!
Glass and paper, plastic and tin,
Go into your recycling bin.
We must start now, we cannot wait
Quick, or it will be too late!

Water, Water, Everywhere (Sung to: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Water, water, in the air.
Water, water everywhere.

Water up,
Water down,
In the sky
And underground.

Do not waste it.
Keep it clean.
Water helps keep our earth green!
