Did you ever notice the old Big Dipper,
And wonder what he dips all night?
Well, he's dipping out wisdom,
He's dipping out love,
He's dipping out a way of life.
And if you notice the old big dipper,
You're gonna see all the other stars.
And if you look around to where the light comes down,
You're gonna see just where you are.
You're gonna see you're on a little green speck,
On a little blue ball,
in a big black sky all alone.
And we've gotta take good care of that
Little blue ball,
Because you know it's the only home we'll ever own.
And did you ever take a little wild flower
And wonder why he smiles so bright
Well, he smiles because he's the bloom of love
In a world that's made just right
And each little leaf of every wild flower
is a work of art you see
But if we mow'em all down and tear up the ground
We ain't livin' like we oughta be
And we're living on a little green speck,
On a little blue ball,
in a big black sky all alone.
And we've gotta take good care of that
Little blue ball,
Because you know it's the only home we'll ever own.
Did you ever hear a little spring peeper
And wonder why he peeps so loud
Well, it's because he made it through another winter
He's happy and he's feelin' proud
And if we take good care of all the things we share
The forest, the water, and the sky
We can all be proud, we can shout out loud
And that peeper he's tellin' you why
Cause we're living on a little green speck,
On a little blue ball,
in a big black sky all alone.
And we've gotta take good care of that
Little blue ball,
Because you know it's the only home we'll ever own.
Yeah, we're living on a little green speck,
On a little blue ball,
in a big black sky all alone.
And we've gotta take good care of that
Little blue ball,
Because you know it's the only home we'll ever own.
