Don’t you throw carrot tops away
Put dem in de compost
Don’t you throw carrot tops away
Put dem in de compost
Put the peels of potatoes, too
And Mother Earth make it all brand new
Don’t you throw carrot tops away
Put dem in de compost

When we drink dat bottle down
Bottle get recycled
When we drink dat bottle down
Bottle get recycled
Bottle crusher weigh ten tonne
Melt de bottle down, make another one
When we drink dat bottle down
Bottle get recycled



How precious is our life
Thanks to our Mother
How precious is our life
Thanks to our Mother
Mother brings us to our birth
Then we go back to Mother Earth
How precious is our life
Thanks to our Mother

Creator set the cycle
Into motion
Creator set the cycle
Into motion
He wrote the chapter and the verse
We’re all part of his universe
Creator set the cycle into motion
Creator set the cycle into motion
