Along the River Bed

I walk along the river bed, that perfect bit of world,
my smile begins to slowly spread, but then my heart drops like lead,
I can see rubbish. There, there, there, I can see rubbish everywhere,
even though some good ones fight, the rubbish still has more might.
The world is dying can't you see? I need more help, more than just me!
I get some friends, we meet along the riverbed, and I see their hearts drop like lead.
With bags and gloves we pick up rubbish, but as we try people just walk by
They say "hi", "HI?!" I scream, "That's not enough! Come and help! This is your stuff!
After long hours we did it! As i walk along the riverbed my smile begins to slowly spread, but then my heart drops like lead..
I see more rubbish that the river has been fed.
