The Children Know...

I just found a song that one of my twin daughters wrote when she was about seven:

Save the world and the world will save you (repeat)
The plants, the animals, and you (repeat)
We all stand under the same sky (repeat)
Respect the world, Save the world.

Is there any more that needs to be said?  It's pretty simple, isn't it?  My novel, Eye of the Whale, is a little longer and more complicated, but we adults tend to want it that way.  I am not sure it is nearly as poetic.
