Product Description

This song was commissioned as part of the celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the National Children's Choir of Ireland and was performed by over 4,000 children in April/May 2025. The song is a celebration of nature and a reminder of how fragile our planet is. Suitable for any two-part combination of voices: treble, SS, SA,. TB or female/ male voices, but may also be performed by unison or solo voice(s).

Look at the raindrops
Hear how they fall down to the ground
Look at the snowflakes
But they never makes a sound
Look at the storm clouds
Gathering high up in the sky
Look at the evening sun that falls and says,goodbye.

All the splendour of the earth surrounds us
Joy of nature right before us
Wonders of the earth, the sea, the mountains and the sky
We must cherish all this beauty
And, whats more, it is our duty
Take good care of this our world, this fragile earth thats ours

Look at the snowdrops
See how they bend their heads and sway
Look at the spiders
How they weave their webs each day
Look at the blackbirds
Singing their song for all to hear
Look at the mighty oak that blossoms evry year

All the splendour of the earth surrounds us
Joy of nature right before us
Wonders of the earth, the sea, the mountains and the sky
We must cherish all this beauty
And, whats more, it is our duty
Take good care of this our world, this fragile earth thats ours.

Look at the ocean
Hear how the waves come crashing down
Look at the river
How it brings life to a town
Look at the valleys
Carving their way through fields of green
Look at the silver tracks where creatures just have been.

All the splendour of the earth surrounds us
Joy of nature right before us
Wonders of the earth, the sea, the mountains and the sky
We must cherish all this beauty
And, whats more, it is our duty
Take good care of this our world, this fragile earth thats ours.
