We’ve got the whole world, in our hands
We’ve got the whole world, in our hands

Sebezisa futhi, konke esingakwenza(Recycle, all that we can) (isiZulu)
We’ve got the whole world in our hands

Be kind to the plants and animals, of our land
Batai Mhuka zvakanaka, dzenyika ino (Be kind to the animals of our land) (Shona)
Yiba nomusa ezitshalweni, ezweni lethu (Be kind to the plants of our land) (isiZulu)
