Is there a flower inside of you? You might be surprised.
lyrics
(Chorus)
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
Roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds
That’s six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need
The roots hold the plant in the ground
They gather up the water that falls around
And there’s a root inside of me
Because a carrot is a root that I eat.
That’s six parts, six parts, six plant parts that plants and people need
A stem is an elevator growing up from the ground
The water goes up and the sugar back down
And there’s a stem inside of me
Because celery is a stem that I eat.
The leaves are kitchens where the food is donr
They breathe the air and catch rays from the sun.
And there’s a leaf inside of me
Because lettuce is a leaf that I eat.
The flowers are dressed so colorfully
They hold the pollen and attract the bees.
And there’s a flower inside of me
Because cauliflower is a flower I eat.
The fruit gets ripe, then falls on down.
It holds the seeds and feeds the ground
And there’s a fruit inside of me
Because an apple is a fruit that I eat.
(Chorus)
The seed gets buried in the earth
And the cycle starts again with a new plant’s birth
And there are seeds inside of me
Because sunflower is a seed that I eat.
Now you know what this whole worlds needs
It’s roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds.
There’s six plant parts inside of me
Because a garden salad is what I eat.
