There is no time I have seen it easy
No time everything turned easy
Turning brown earth green
That cannot be easy
It calls for ease of mind and reflection
It calls for reflection to inject new ideas of bringing change
That is why Janam Model Farm is calling you to join us
As we work in response to climate change
Climate change is real turning green trees into brown sticks and wood
So dry, so brown ready to light
Ready to be chopped and used for fuel
Some days hot, some day’s cold
Others flooding, others just too dry
They blame it all on climate change
Traumatic and unpredictable
Still we may do something if only we may try
Don’t give up because you want it green
You may think the end has come because there is nothing green
As human you have the capacity to turn it green
As human you may get ideas to respond to climate change
Because you have capacity to bring that change
Don’t forget that you’re a co-creator with God
Don’t forget that ideas may have effect on climate change
Pick your shovel and plant seeds of change
Pick your hoe and prick the earth
It will not bleed but it will respond with joy
Realizing that you want to plant the seeds with joy
It will respond by bringing rain with joy
And soon the green trees and green grass will rise from the soil with joy
Animals and birds will come over
They will graze and patch on trees, eat leaves and grasses
Happy that you care for them
Brining life where it had been assumed all was lost
Your work is bringing hope
Hopelessness giving rise to high expectations
Because you care for the environment
That is why I want you to take action
And help turn our environment green like never before
Come on, let us make it green
