I Love Nature

From the album "Mountains of Interbeing".

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
