Respect Is The Key
Kevin Mulderig
Sun sets over the mountain
Waves roll in on the shore
I breathe deep and I wonder
Do we stand at the door?

As we go into the future
What kind of world will it be?
Our children need the message
Respect is the key

Chorus:
You got to teach them while they’re young
Before the song is sung
You only get one planet
You only get one sun

The river’s thick with oil
Toxic waste in the soil
Exhaust chokes my eyes
Another rain forest dies

The world is full of ruins
Civilizations gone by
The same mystery surrounds them
How did these people die?

They were farmers and builders
They ruled the land and the sea
The one thing that they forgot
Respect is the key

Chorus:
You got to teach them while they’re young
Before the song is sung
You only get one planet
You only get one sun

Could it be global warming
Sets the sharks to swarming?
Highways littered with trash
Cigarette butts and glass


The sun comes over the mountain
Waves roll in on the beach
I breathe deep and realize
The solution’s in reach

We need to work together
And we can open the doors
I’ll tell it to my kids
You tell it to yours

Chorus:
You got to teach them while they’re young
If we’re to have an affect
You only get one future
Treat it with respect

You got to teach them while they’re young
Before the song is sung
You only get one planet
You only get one sun


Respect the world around you
Respect the flowers and trees
Respect the air you’re breathing
Respect is the key
