about

Another song about the incredible creatures that live on planet Earth. I could keep on writing songs like this 'till the cows come home'. I love animals so much!

lyrics

Earthly creatures - we are lucky to share this world with you
Earthly creatures - you are beautiful, but you can be scary too.
Earthly creatures - it's an honor to share this world with you.
And something tells me that other planets - they wish that they could have you too.

You're swimming in the deep blue seas.
And flying over our heads.
You walk beside us down the street.
You share our couches and our beds.
You come in sizes big and small.
Sometimes you answer when we call.
And it is sad but it is true -
Sometimes we don't treat you as well as we ought to

Earthly creatures we are scared of some of you it's true.
But I was thinkin' - maybe it's because we don't understand
you.

Earthly creatures it's a privilege to share this world with you.
And something tells me - that other planets are jealous they don't have you too.

You serenade us in the trees
You sit on top of our heads.
You walk beside us on the beach.
Sometimes you tear our things to shreds.
You make this world a better place.
You put a smile upon my face.
And it is sad, but it is true -
Sometimes we don't treat you as well as we ought to.

You're swimming in our deep blue seas.
You're floating gently in the breeze.
You even pollinate our land.
I'm sure some day we'll understand.
That we'd be LOST without you here.
So please don't EVER disappear.
And it is sad but it is true -
Sometimes we don't treat you as well as we ought to.

Yes, it is sad, but it is true -
Sometimes we don't treat you as well as we ought to.
