Earth Day Song 
by David Saphra - Home Page: kidmid.com

Please, Woodcutter
South of the border
Please don’t cut that tree
A little bird is singing
Outside my window
She’s not singing just for me

She flies, winter
South, where it’s warmer
She lives in that tree
Please don’t cut her woods-o
Please don’t cut her home
You love her just like me

Factory worker
North of the border
Won’t you also care?
That little bird who
Sings oh so sweetly
Struggles through your smoky air

She flies in spring
North where it’s cooler
She builds there her nest
In it lay her eggs
They soon will be her babies
She sings to them while they rest

Please, Woodcutter
Birds have no borders
Please don’t cut that tree
A little bird is singing
Outside my window
She’s not singing just for me
