dance the last dance



we should look after the world
as best we can
the responsisbility
of everyone

stop polluting the world
you know that we must
god gave us the earth
on his trust

its not enough to say we will
we must do it now
not tomorrow not next week
do it now before its tolate

if we start right now
we may hav a chance
choose to ignore
dance the last dance
