Sunlight Snack

I'm a little plant upon your window sill Got a rumbling root, I can't keep still Can't order takeout, can't run to the store But I know what my hungry leaves are asking for A little bit of water, a little bit of air And that golden sunshine shining everywhere It's time to cook, yeah, the kitchen's open now Let me show you, let me teach you how It's photosynthesis, a recipe of light! I take the sun, the water, and I hold them tight Breathe in CO2 from the air you share

To make a sugar snack with energy to spare! Oh, photosynthesis, it's green and it's so grand The greatest little factory in all the land Inside my leaves are chloroplasts, a tiny, busy crew They're filled with chlorophyll, a special shade of green, it's true It's like a solar panel, catching every single ray Turning light to power to get me through the day My roots are drinking deeply, a refreshing H2O My pores are breathing in the carbon, watch the system go! It's photosynthesis, a recipe of light! I take the sun, the water, and I hold them tight

Breathe in CO2 from the air you share To make a sugar snack with energy to spare! Oh, photosynthesis, it's green and it's so grand The greatest little factory in all the land And when I'm done, I've made my sugary fuel But I give a gift back, and this is super cool That extra part I don't need, I release it for you A breath of fresh oxygen, brand new! From the grass to the trees to the veggies on your plate This little sunlit process seals everybody's fate It's photosynthesis, a recipe of light!

I take the sun, the water, and I hold them tight Breathe in CO2 from the air you share To make a sugar snack with energy to spare! Oh, photosynthesis, it's green and it's so grand The greatest little factory in all the land
