This lovely song, which is reminiscent of a '60s or '70s folk song, can be used as a celebration of spring, in recognition of Earth Day, or any time you want to sing about good ol' "Mother Earth." If you have a good guitarist in your midst, you could perform this piece live, using just guitar and piano. The guitar solo is written out for your convenience.
The song is unison throughout until the very end when it breaks into an optional divisi. The style is gentle and folk-like and should be easy for your students to pick up. (from Music K-8, Vol. 10, No. 4)
