Tread lightly on our planet, your footprints not too deep
‘Cause otherwise we’ll can it and it’s something we should keep
Although your house could span it, leave a little of your lot
Tread lightly on our planet, it’s the only one we’ve got

It’s getting crowded nearly everywhere you look
Is there no answer to be found
Mankind has always thought the world belongs to him
But it’s the other way around

The world takes care of us in many different ways
Why can’t people do the same
What will we do when we’ve sealed everybody’s fate
And there is no one left to blame

People like to think the future’s too far off
The sun is shining, let’s make hay
Why can’t we recognize the danger that we’re in
Before we all get swept away
