The Secret Life of Plants lyrics
by Michael Sembello
[Verse 1]
I can't conceive the nucleus of all
Begins inside a tiny seed
And what we see as insignificant
Provides the purest air we breathe
[Chorus]
But who am I to doubt
Or question the inevitable being?
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the secret life of plants
[Verse 2]
A species smaller than the eye can see
Or larger than most living things
And yet we take from it without consent
Our shelter, food, habiliment
[Chorus]
But who am I to doubt
Or question the inevitable being?
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the secret life of plants
[Bridge]
But far too many give them in return
A stomp, cut, drown, or burn as if they're nothing
But if you ask yourself where would you be
Without them, you will find you would not
[Verse 3]
And some believe antennas are their leaves
That spans beyond our galaxy
They've been, they are, and probably will be
Who are the mediocrity?
[Chorus]
But who am I to doubt
Or question the inevitable being?
For these are but a few discoveries
We find inside the secret life of plants
