Our Promise

Intro

it opens with crickets chirping,

birds chirping,

beavers slapping their tails against water,

snakes hissing,

squirrels and chipmunks chattering,

children laughing,

bottles of water crunching to represent people picking them up and recycling.

Verse

Under the morning sun, we hear the whole world wake

Every little living thing has a part for us to take

The river holds a mirror, the branches reach up high

We can be the careful hands beneath the open sky

Pre-chorus

One small choice, one helping hand

Can heal the water and the land

If we begin with what we do

The Earth begins again with you

Chorus

part if the song will be I like to rycycle, reuse, and reduce!

Our promise starts with every day

We choose a kinder, cleaner way

For every forest, stream, and seed

We give the world what it will need

Verse

Pick up what was left behind, let the pavement shine

Sort it, save it, use it twice, give old things a life

The children’s laughter carries farther when the air is clear

And every tree we care for brings tomorrow near

Chorus

part if the song will be I like to rycycle, reuse, and reduce!

Our promise starts with every day

We choose a kinder, cleaner way

For every forest, stream, and seed

We give the world what it will need

Bridge

Not just for one bright day

But every step along the way

The home we share is in our hands

Together we can help it stand

Outro

Our promise, our home

No one has to do it alone

Our promise, our home

We care for the Earth wherever we roam
