(Dave on lead)

the sun sends rays
travelling through outer space
photons of light
that feed the humnan race

the solar thrill
that turns on chlorophyll
the nourishing kiss
of photosynthesis

to create this extacy
let's use this recipe

add water to light
an electron takes flight
and oxygen is set free
the result is ATP
that's how plants store energy
real cooking begins
when CO2 comes in
it's a sugar factory

plants and trees
are the base of a hierarchy
the rest of us too
live off this chemistry

yes even beef
starts off from a leaf
life's secret is this:
photosynthesis

photosynthesis helps to clear
carbon from the atmosphere
it takes co2 in
releases oxygen

photosynthesis helps to clear
carbon from the atmosphere
