About Breathe

We know about the effects of deforestation on global warming.

In this song, We are the Voice Children's Environmental Choir celebrate the trees native to Britain. Trees are the lungs of our planet. Let's go plant a tree! #queensgreencanopy #countryfile #tree #tree planting

To celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, the Queen launched her Green Canopy project. Everyone from individuals to Scout and Girl-guiding groups, villages, cities, counties, schools and corporates were encouraged to play their part in enhancing our environment by planting trees.

Trees are the lungs of our planet and we wanted to encourage all of us to go out and plant them! In this song, we highlight their importance in capturing carbon and keeping us all breathing clean air.

Lyrics

Verse 1

Let's go plant a tree

Any sort of tree will be

A helping hand; a gift of air

A chance to breathe and take good care

Of our world and its forms

Threatened by raging storms

It needs to breathe; let's plant a tree

Saving ground for you and me

Chorus:

And we'll breathe, breathe, breathe x 2

Verse 2

Let's go find a place,

Let’s go find a place

Plant a tree, make a space

For oak and ash, and cherry too

Let’s plant a tree right next to you

Chorus

Middle 8

Trees for winter, summer and fall

Don’t have to choose them

Let’s plant them all

Verse 3

On Every path, and every verge

Let’s plant a seed, watch it emerge

when lungs are green the air is clean

let’s all agree to plant a tree

Chorus x 2
