🎵 “The Tree That Gave Us Shade” 🎵
🎶 Verse 1
🎵 The sun was hot, the road was long,
Two friends walked with no more song.
One wiped his brow, the other said,
🎵 “Let’s find some shade or drop down dead!”
🌳 They saw a tree with branches wide,
They ran and sat down side by side.
🎵 Cool, calm shade wrapped ‘round their feet—
A quiet place, a sweet retreat.
🎶 Chorus
🎵 Oh, some say, “What’s it for?”
🎵 “No fruit, no flowers, nothing more!”
But when you need a place to stay—
🎵 That tree will help in its own way.
Don’t say it’s useless, don’t complain,
🎵 It gave you peace, away from pain.
Kindness sometimes doesn’t show,
🎵 Until you need it most, you know!
🎶 Verse 2
🎵 “This tree is plain,” one traveler said.
“It grows no fruit, no flowers red.”
But then his friend just shook his head,
🎵 “It helped us rest, it helped instead.”
🌳 The leaves above danced in the breeze,
A whisper soft among the trees.
🎵 “Sometimes value’s hard to see—
But now we know, dear shady tree!”
🎶 Final Chorus
🎵 Oh, some say, “What’s it for?”
🎵 “No fruit, no flowers, nothing more!”
But those who give in quiet ways—
🎵 Deserve our thanks and gentle praise.
🎵 So when you rest beneath a tree,
Think of all the help you see.
🎵 Not every gift is bold and bright—
Some just shade you from the light. 🌳
