A song about river contamination and environmental issue.

I always had the idea of writing about social issues, particularly environmental issues. I wrote this song after looking at a picture where a poor little otter is floating on a severely contaminated river, next to plastic bags and bottles. Water contamination has been an issue for so long and we have the obligation to protect the river, the home for so many species, by raising awareness through our music. “There is only one way to save our river”, which is to protect our environment and our planet from now on.

Lyrics:

	Follow down the river 
	The otters lay, facing palms to pray 
	All the fishes pile together
	Next to the plastic bag that cages a little bird 

	Follow down the river 
	There’s a shore, empty looted store
	Ropes tangle with each other
	Next to the cans and bottles, the party’s leftovers

	Where is our river?
	Where we used to swim in the water 
	In all the days and nights
	Peacefully meanders
	Where is our river? 
	Where the blue sky is right above our head 
	But now the paradise
	Slowly disappears

	Follow down the river 
	Women are picking, trash in the morning  
	Children at the playground 
	Try their best to find happiness in town 

	There is only one way to save our river
