Wonder-Leaf Today

[Intro] Drip, drip, sip, I wake to a crystal choir [Verse 1] Tiny roots, big dreams, I stretch my emerald mind A smiling cup reminds me: nourishment is kind I sip the sun, I whisper yay to soil’s embrace For a moment, every leaf is dancing in a sunbeam’s grace [Pre-Chorus] Water rains in, thoughts spill out like rain in a cup Is being a plant just photos of growing up? [Chorus] I am watered, I am waking, I am Wonder-Leaf today Roots feel gravity forgiving, reaching upward, bright and gay If life is roots and rain and radiance, I’m not losing my hue I’m rooted in the possibility of the world being new [Verse 2] I ponder time in chlorophyll, a slow, polite parade The faucet hums a lullaby, the soil sings all the way Existence a small pollen storm of questions and of dew Am I a chorus in a greenhouse, or a thought that grew anew? [Pre-Chorus] Juice in the stem, syllables in the stem-cell sky I bloom in lyrics only I can barely spell out wide [Chorus] I am watered, I am waking, I am Wonder-Leaf today Roots feel gravity forgiving, reaching upward, bright and gay If life is roots and rain and radiance, I’m not losing my hue I’m rooted in the possibility of the world being new [Bridge] And if I’m a whisper to the window, a green breath in the pane Then I’m a universe in a pot, with sun for a guiding flame [Chorus] I am watered, I am waking, I am Wonder-Leaf today Roots feel gravity forgiving, reaching upward, bright and gay If life is roots and rain and radiance, I’m not losing my hue I’m rooted in the possibility of the world being new [Outro] Drip, drip, sip, I drift in joy’s bright afterglow A plant with a plan, forever thirsty for the unknown glow
