The Green Machine

Standing in the garden, roots are in the ground Stomach's kinda empty, sun is beating down I can't walk to the kitchen, can't order take-away Gotta make my own lunch to get me through the day I take a sip of water, breathe the air in deep Got a secret recipe the universe can keep Oh, it's Photosynthesis! Yeah, the light-powered show! Gimme sun, gimme water, watch the green things grow! We take the CO₂ from the air you breathe And turn it into sugar, and the oxygen you need! Photosynthesis! Yeah, that's the name of the game! Turning light into life, a tiny solar flame!

Inside every single leaf, a little factory Millions of green kitchens called the chloroplasts, you see Chlorophyll's the master chef, wearing a green hat Catches rays of sunshine, in a flash, just like that! First, it splits the water, sets the oxygen free Then it cooks the carbon into pure energy! Oh, it's Photosynthesis! Yeah, the light-powered show! Gimme sun, gimme water, watch the green things grow! We take the CO₂ from the air you breathe And turn it into sugar, and the oxygen you need! Photosynthesis! Yeah, that's the name of the game! Turning light into life, a tiny solar flame!

So next time you take a breath, a deep and satisfying sigh Thank the silent, green machines reaching for the sky Every apple, every grain, every leaf upon the tree It all starts with this simple, magic recipe It's the bottom of the food chain, the reason we're alive Just sunlight, water, and some air helping us survive Oh, it's Photosynthesis! Yeah, the light-powered show! Gimme sun, gimme water, watch the green things grow! We take the CO₂ from the air you breathe And turn it into sugar, and the oxygen you need! Photosynthesis! Yeah, that's the name of the game! Turning light into life, a tiny solar flame!
