The Photosynthesis Song

See that little leaf, just hanging in the breeze? Looks like it's relaxing, doing what it please But deep inside, a factory's in motion Mixing up a secret, magic potion It sips the water up from the ground below Breathes the air around it, helping it to grow Stares into the sun, catching every ray To power up its engine for the day Oh, photosynthesis! It's the ultimate hack There's no turning back from this natural track

Sunlight plus Water plus CO2, you see Equals Sugar Energy plus Oxygen for me! Photosynthesis! Yeah, the world's green engine The greatest little miracle you could imagine! The chloroplasts are tiny solar panels, painted green The busiest little workers that you've ever seen That color's chlorophyll, it's the superstar Catches light particles, no matter how far It splits the H2O, a clever little trick Takes the carbon from the air and makes the pieces click

Building blocks of sugar, a sweet and simple fuel Following a silent, fundamental rule Oh, photosynthesis! It's the ultimate hack There's no turning back from this natural track Sunlight plus Water plus CO2, you see Equals Sugar Energy plus Oxygen for me! Photosynthesis! Yeah, the world's green engine The greatest little miracle you could imagine! And this isn't just for plants, it's the reason we're alive It's the air in every breath that helps us all survive

The start of every food chain, from the roots up to the sky A silent, green foundation you can't deny Oh, photosynthesis! It's the ultimate hack There's no turning back from this natural track Sunlight plus Water plus CO2, you see Equals Sugar Energy plus Oxygen for me! Photosynthesis! Yeah, the world's green engine The greatest little miracle you could imagine!
