Solar Power Snack

A little seed is in the ground, not a single sound Getting thirsty, feeling weak, can't even speak It sends its roots down deep below for a little H2O Breathes the air through tiny pores, opening its doors For the CO2 that's floating by in the big blue sky Sunlight, water, CO2, let's make something new! It's a solar power snack, there's no turning back! In the leaf, a chemical bash, in a lightning flash! Making sugar, sweet and green, the coolest thing you've ever seen!

And the oxygen it makes? That's the breath the world takes! Inside the leaf, a secret place, a microscopic space Filled with tiny green machines, you know what that means! Chlorophyll is on the scene, soaking up the sunbeams Like a solar panel, bright and bold, a story to be told It captures energy and light, with all of its might Sunlight, water, CO2, let's make something new! It's a solar power snack, there's no turning back! In the leaf, a chemical bash, in a lightning flash!

Making sugar, sweet and green, the coolest thing you've ever seen! And the oxygen it makes? That's the breath the world takes! From the tallest forest tree to the algae in the sea Every single plant you know puts on this magic show It's the bottom of the chain, fueling life through sun and rain It's the reason we can eat, it's a process oh-so-sweet! Sunlight, water, CO2, let's make something new! It's a solar power snack, there's no turning back! In the leaf, a chemical bash, in a lightning flash!
