First The Little Roots Grow
Nature's Endless Cycle: Growth, Harvest, Renewal
Lyrics
First the little roots grow,
First stage of growth involves the development of small roots.
Then the baby shoots grow,
Following the roots, young shoots or sprouts begin to emerge.
Then the green stalks, strong and tall.
The plant progresses to the stage of having sturdy and tall green stalks.
Next the golden ears show,
At the next phase, the plant produces mature golden ears or grains.
Swaying as the wind blows.
The mature ears sway gracefully in response to the blowing wind.
Soon it’s time to cut them all.
The time has come to harvest or cut the fully grown plants.
Sunshine, showers of rain.
The natural elements of sunshine and rain contribute to the plant's growth.
See how nature does it again!
Observing the cyclical process of nature with admiration.
Sunshine, showers of rain.
Reiterating the positive impact of sunshine and rain on nature.
Nature does ev’rything over and over.
Highlighting the repetitive but effective nature of natural processes.
Nature does ev’rything over again.
Emphasizing the continuous and cyclical nature of natural phenomena.
First the little roots grow,
Repetition of the initial stages of plant growth.
Then the baby shoots grow,
Reiteration of the emergence of baby shoots in the growth cycle.
Then the green stalks, strong and tall.
Repeating the development of strong and tall green stalks.
Next the golden ears show,
Recurrence of the appearance of mature golden ears or grains.
Swaying as the wind blows.
Re-emphasis on the graceful swaying of mature ears in the wind.
Soon it’s time to cut them all.
Reiteration of the harvest or cutting phase in the natural cycle.
Sunshine, showers of rain.
Acknowledging the role of sunshine and rain in the growth process.
See how nature does it again!
Reflecting on the recurring and reliable patterns in nature.
Sunshine, showers of rain.
Reaffirming the positive impact of sunshine and rain on natural cycles.
Nature does ev’rything over and over.
Re-emphasis on the repetitive but effective nature of natural processes.
Nature does ev’rything over again.
Reiterating the continuous and cyclical nature of natural phenomena.
…..Nature does ev’rything over and over.
Continuing the emphasis on the repetitive nature of natural processes.
Nature does ev’rything over again.
Concluding with a repetition of the continuous and cyclical nature of nature.
