lyrics

Chorus:
Plants * (Plants) Plants * (Plants),
Give plants a chance
Plants * (Plants) Plants * (Plants),
Give plants a chance

I like plants. You could too.
There’s so many things that
plants can do.
Feed them water, watch them grow.
There’s a lot of plant above but there’s
even more below.
Rich soil, *(rich soil)
clean air, *(clean air)
Sun and rain give them care.
Plants are the reason
this world’s so fine.
When was the last time
you thanked a vine?
CHORUS…

Believe me when I say that plants,
they can thrill us.
Some plants can save us and some
plants can kill us.
They grow everywhere, from
the tundra to your room.
They’re breaking through cement and
they make the desert bloom.
They creep and climb. *(creep and cimb)
Grow upside down *(grow upside down)
Grow real low or high
above the ground.
Plants are the reason this
world’s so great.
When was the last time you had plants
on your plate?
CHORUS…

Plants are here so let’s
celebrate them.
With every breath we take, well,
we can thank them.
Plants hold the earth
against the sky
And leaves are the reason
the world’s alive.
Brown and green, *(brown and green)
red and blue, *(red and blue)
Yellow, orange, old and new,
plants are beauty growing free.
When was the last time
you hugged a tree?
CHORUS…

*These are the call-and-response parts for the group to repeat.
