Lyrics
[Chorus]
I love nature, nature is cool
The forest is my classroom
The earth is my school
Trees are my teachers
Animals are my friends
And on this school all life depends
[Verse 1]
I love, I love nature, yes it's true
That means I love myself and I love you too
When I look around me nature's all that I'm seeing
Plants, animals, earth, sky and human beings
Nature is like one big community
Many animals might live inside just of one tree
And that tree gives us oxygen to help us breathe
This whole interaction is called ecology
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I love flowers, they are so pretty
I love them in the forest and I love them in the city
And I love mushrooms too on a pizza or in salad
But my favorite place for mushrooms is right here in this love ballad
I love children and I love H2O
And children who love nature can help the rivers flow
By protecting habitats like wetlands and wet meadows
When we work together we can all help nature grow, so
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So let's love nature right now with all our hearts
That's right, this present moment is a great place to start
We don't need any money it might take a little time
We need to open up our arms, hearts, mouths and minds
So we can see the gifts mother nature can bring
When we learn to appreciate it it makes us want to sing
And when we are smiling and singing our song
Other people hear us and they want to sing along, they sing
[Chorus]
Upon this school all live depends
