Backstory:
60% of the Rain Forest is in the country of Brazil. Deforestation puts the forest that holds many healing remedies for the planet at risk. It is home to many beautiful animals, who need our protection. This Round the Globe song was co-written by Clare Steffen (United States) and Aira Winterland (Brazil). We must all work together to save the planet! Performed by Aira Winterland.
Lyrics:
V1
The rain falls every day
It washes my cares away
I love my native land
It is vast and it is grand
V2
From the mountains to the coast
With forest, hills, and streams
The earth is not a trading post
We must protect the dream
Chorus
The rain forest holds the key
Earth Medicine helps us heal
Amazon River Basin imprints
Where the animals live free
Their home we must not steal
Or leave a human footprint
V3
My homeland is diverse
Terra do Brazil
The trees are not commerce
That will land in some landfill
V4
Together we can save it
Deforestation will do harm
We must protect it and not quit
It’s time to sound the alarm
Chorus
The rain forest holds the key
Earth Medicine helps us heal
Amazon River Basin imprints
Where the animals live free
Their home we must not steal
Or leave a human footprint
Fade Out
Terra de Santa Cruz
The rain forest holds the key
Earth Medicine helps us heal
