Jamie Savage: Music
Thank the Earth
This song was written by Jamie Savage for the K-12 students at Keene Valley Central School, and for anyone else who appreciates all that we get from Earth and the ecosystems it supports.
It sure is fun to be alive these days
There's no reason ever to be bored
We've got Ipods and MP3s
IPhones and Blackberries
Video games so true to life
High-def TVs hooked to satellites, well
Where does all this stuff come from?
Is it A. Walmart B. Target or C. None of the Above?
Chorus:
Well this stuff that we love, comes from the land
And the food that we eat, comes from animals and plants
Yeah the homes where we live, are built from stone and wood
Mother Earth provides it all, don't you think we should...
Thank the Earth? Respect the Earth? Protect the Earth? Thank the Earth!
It sure is fun to be alive these days
There's no reason ever to go hungry
We've got pizza pies and chicken wings
Foot-long subs and french-fried rings
Chocolate milk and soda pop
And home-cooked meals by Mom and Popp, well
Where does all this stuff come from?
Is it A. Price Chopper B. Stewarts or C. None of the Above?
Chorus
It sure is fun to be alive these days
There's no reason ever to be bored
We've got bass boats with GPS
Skates and snowboards and space-aged sleds
Camping equipment, strong but light
Canoes and kayaks and mountain bikes, well
Where does all this stuff come from?
Is it A. Gander Mountain B. EMS or C. None of the Above?
Chorus
