The sun is hot and scorching
Its all sunshine and brightness
Out there in the wide open fields
People are walking and sweating
Walking on hot sands on the ground
Standing on hot stones on the ground
Facing the discomfort of the sun
Because the heat is unbearable
There is no shade to rest under
We need trees to give us shelter
A tree is the umbrella of the day
Plant a tree !
In front of my house is a mango tree
And at the back is a pawpaw tree
They are very satisfying and rewarding
And cuts my expenditure on food
I call my neighbours to my house
We plug the fruits and eat all for free
Its all merry making and enjoyment
The birds in the air have their share
As they gladly descend on the fruits
We need more trees for food
Plant a tree !
For those who want a new job
To earn an additional income
Come on lets plant more trees
And replace what has been lost
Let’s plant many of the fruit trees
To start a large plantation farm
Let’s plant trees along the streets
To decorate and beautify the city
We need raw materials for work
And some more timber for export
Plant more and get more income
Come let’s plant trees!
We must plant more trees
To encourage reforestation
And fight against desertification
We must plant more trees
So that we get more oxygen
To reduce the carbon dioxide
And save the environment
Plant a tree, plant a life !
