The journey starts with a little seed,
Buried deep in the Earth.
Rain pours upon the ground
The seed is just waiting to sprout.

Buried deep in the Earth,
The seed begins to grow.
The seed is just waiting to sprout,
To peek above the soil.

The seed begins to grow
A small stem finally pops its head up
To peek above the soil
And feel the sunlight.

A small stem finally pops its head up
It continues to grow,
And feel the sunlight.
It’s getting bigger now!

It continues to grow,
The seed is now almost a tree-
It’s getting bigger now!
And swaying in the wind.

The seed is now almost a tree,
Blooming full of leaves and branches.
And swaying in the wind,
A bud quietly appears.

Blooming full of leaves and branches,
A bee discovers the tree.
A bud quietly appears,
And soon there is a flower.

A bee discovers the tree,
With love on every branch.
And soon there is a flower,
The tree is so beautiful.

With love on every branch,
A peach is soon created.
The tree is so beautiful,
As the peach begins to ripen.

A peach is soon created,
And many more peaches grow.
As the peach begins to ripen,
It is picked and enjoyed.
