I have here a small blue marble
Round and cool and clean and fine
I must hold it very gently
Lest it shatter for all time
Mother gave it to her children
I will give it to my own
They will pass it on to their young
Sons and daughters, on and on
La la la la la la la...
I don't know how long it's been here
Maybe since all time began
I could look at it forever
Spinning slowly in my hand
Though it seems so everlasting
I could lose it easily but
I will keep it safe from all harm
I will love it carefully
La la la la la la la...
I won't trade my small blue marble
Not for copper, nor for gold
All its value and its beauty
Can't be priced and can't be sold
But we can share this small blue marble
If you'll love it as I do
Together we'll enjoy its treasures
It's our hands it's trusted to
La la la la la la la...
I have here a small blue marble
Round and cool and clean and fine
I must hold it very gently
Lest it shatter for all time
