The Photosynthesis Bop

I'm stuck in the dirt but I'm reaching for a star Don't need a delivery app or a fancy car I make my own breakfast, lunch, and dinner too Just need a little water and some CO2 My roots go deep to find a morning drink I'm breathing in the air you exhale, what you think? Gimme sunlight, gimme water, gimme air that's all around I'm a sugar-making factory rooted in the ground It's the photosynthesis bop, a chemical reaction

Turning light into life is my main attraction Yeah, sunlight plus H2O plus CO2 Makes sweet energy for me and oxygen for you! Got tiny solar panels packed inside my leaves They're called the chloroplasts, a structure to believe My secret weapon's chlorophyll, it's why I'm green and bright It's the magic pigment that can capture all the light It splits the water molecules, sets the atoms free Building blocks for glucose, that's my energy!

Gimme sunlight, gimme water, gimme air that's all around I'm a sugar-making factory rooted in the ground It's the photosynthesis bop, a chemical reaction Turning light into life is my main attraction Yeah, sunlight plus H2O plus CO2 Makes sweet energy for me and oxygen for you! Every breath you take, every bite of food you make Is connected to the energy that I create From the algae in the ocean to the tallest forest tree

We're the base of the food chain, for all the world to see A silent, green engine, working day and night Just to keep the world breathing, just to keep it bright. Gimme sunlight, gimme water, gimme air that's all around I'm a sugar-making factory rooted in the ground It's the photosynthesis bop, a chemical reaction Turning light into life is my main attraction Yeah, sunlight plus H2O plus CO2 Makes sweet energy for me and oxygen for you!
