Little green leaf on a big tall tree Wakes up feeling hungry as can be Sees the golden sun begin to climb Knows it's almost breakfast time Takes a long deep drink up from the root Breathes the air you give as loot It's got all the pieces, one, two, three For a special recipe Oh, it's the photo-synthesis symphony! A little magic for the world to see Sunlight, water, CO2 Turning light to something new Making sugar, sweet and bright
In this amazing factory of light! Got a secret engine, colored green The tiny chlorophyll machine It's a solar panel, sleek and smart Ready now to play its part Catches photons in a ray of sun 'Til the chemical work is done Splits the water, grabs the air It's a molecular affair Oh, it's the photo-synthesis symphony! A little magic for the world to see Sunlight, water, CO2 Turning light to something new
Making sugar, sweet and bright In this amazing factory of light! So the plant gets fed and grows up tall Answering nature's endless call But the gift it gives to me and you Is the fresh air, clean and new That oxygen we breathe all day Is what the plant just threw away So take a breath and feel the proof Coming from a tiny roof... of green! Oh, it's the photo-synthesis symphony! A little magic for the world to see Sunlight, water, CO2
Turning light to something new Making sugar, sweet and bright In this amazing factory of light!
