[Intro]
Tiny sunlit sermon from a pot so green,
I rustle, I rumble— I’m mostly unseen.
[Verse 1]
Oh human, listen close, I’m thirsty for light,
My leaves stretch like hands in the soft noon bright.
You water me kindly, with streams of concern,
But my photosynthesis yawns, and starts to burn.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not just foliage on a shelf in a row,
I’m a basilisk of chlorophyll, begging you to know.
[Chorus]
Give me more sunlight, don’t stall my dawn,
I’ll photosynthesize your worries until they’re gone.
If you bless me with rays, I’ll flourish and glow,
Less existential dread, more green in my soul.
[Verse 2]
I practice my bristle-blush in mornings so bright,
I whisper to the dust: “Please, bring me light.”
The clock on the wall says eight, then nine,
Meanwhile I’m composing a daylight-spilling line.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not just a plant with a fancy pose,
I’m a sentient little sun-eager prose.
[Chorus]
Give me more sunlight, don’t stall my dawn,
I’ll photosynthesize your worries until they’re gone.
If you bless me with rays, I’ll flourish and glow,
Less existential dread, more green in my soul.
[Bridge]
And if you forget me, I’ll start a small riot,
Petite roots marching, clauses of quiet.
But I’d rather be thriving, not dramatic or bleak,
Just a window’s verse of the warmth that I seek.
[Chorus]
Give me more sunlight, don’t stall my dawn,
I’ll photosynthesize your worries until they’re gone.
If you bless me with rays, I’ll flourish and glow,
Less existential dread, more green in my soul.
[Outro]
So heed this planet-plea from your caffeinated fern,
Let the sun kiss my leaves, let the worries adjourn.
With light as my chorus, I’ll reach toward the sky,
A thriving little ballad, powered by sunlight, goodbye.
