In the rainforest, trees grow tall,
With vines that hang like a curtain call,
A home for monkeys, birds, and more,
A place to explore, a place to adore.

Up in the mountains, the air is clear,
The view is stunning, the path is near,
Hiking up high, feeling the breeze,
The beauty around us, brings us to our knees.

The ocean waves crash onto the shore,
The sand between our toes, we can't ignore,
The sound of the sea, it's so serene,
A world below, it's like we've never seen.

On the plain, the grass grows wide,
With a herd of zebras, we take a stride,
A vast expanse, the sky so blue,
The world around us, fresh and new.

In the tundra, the snow falls light,
The cold breeze blowing, the stars so bright,
A polar bear wanders in the snow,
A world of white, a peaceful flow.

In the desert, the sand is hot,
The sun shines down, it's quite a lot,
Camels walk with humps so high,
A sandy world, it's a sight to spy.

From rainforest to desert, and every place in between,
The world is full of beauty, it's a sight to be seen.
So let's explore and discover, the wonders of the land,
The earth is our playground, let's hold it in our hand.
