I (C#sus)can’t con ceive

And (C#sus)what we see

as (C#sus)in sig nif i cant,

pro (Asus)vides the pur

we breathe.

But (A6)who am I to doubt

or (E)ques tion the in ev i ta ble be

For these are but a few dis cov er ies we find in side the (G#7)se cret life of plants.

A (C#sus)spe cies small

er (C#sus)than the eye can see,

or (Asus)larg er than

most liv

And (C#sus)yet we take

from (C#sus)it with out con sent

our (Asus)shel ter, food,

But (A6)who am I to doubt

or (E)ques tion the in ev i ta ble be

(C#)ing.

For these are but a few dis cov er ies we find in side the (G#7)se cret life of plants.

A

But (A)far too man y give them in re turn

a (G#7)stomp, cut, down or burn

For these are but a few dis cov er ies we find in side the (G#7)se cret life of (C#sus)plants.
