كلمات الأغنية
Why does one step feel suddenly cool?
The sun-warmed pavement stings my feet.
I step into a pool of green shade.
The crown is branches and leaves overhead.
They block some sunlight; shade feels cooler.
Crown above us, roots in the ground,
together make natural cover.
They shelter people, small creatures, nearby soil
close around this tree.
A bird's nest rocks between the branches.
A beetle hides in a crack of bark.
One ladybug tucks beneath a leaf.
There are sheltered nooks beside the roots.
Each little creature finds a fitting place.
Crown above us, roots in the ground,
together make natural cover.
They shelter people, small creatures, nearby soil
close around this tree.
A quick rain taps the leaves above.
Leaves slow some drops before they land.
The roots hold on to dampened soil.
Off bare ground, water carries more mud.
Crown above us, roots in the ground,
together make natural cover.
They shelter people, small creatures, nearby soil
close around this tree.
After the rain, the answer is clear.
Crown and roots make natural cover.
