[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
[Verse 3]
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
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
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
[Verse 3]
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
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
