Natural Diversity lyrics

The plants grow

By the water's edge

In cluttered mass

Yet with great ease

Are all viewed alike

Yet those that grow

To flourish so dry

Differ in number

Each with character

Struggle to live

If only for change

We must see

The plants ways

Know their lessons

It is easy similar

It is harder different

Struggle in individuality

Claim yourself

Alone and together

Characteristics one

The cattails yield

To maple, oak, and pine
