I rise to the sky from the sea below<br>
Then down to the ground as rain and snow<br>
I represent the movement of water that?s my purpose<br>
With the on, above, or below the earth?s surface<br>
In the continuous cycle my work?s never done<br>
Cos? I?m driven by energy from the sun<br>
I travel through the sea, through the air, through the ground<br>
You could say that water really gets around<br>
But in fact most water?s just chillin? in the oceans<br>
Only a small fraction is really in motion at any given time<br>
But yo, that?s the way it goes<br>
When we?re studying the voyages of H2O<br>
In the cycle water changes states at various places<br>
The three states being ice, liquid, and water vapor<br>
But this cycle strays from the norm<br>
Cos? through the process water still keeps the same structural form<br>
While other cycles involve chemical change<br>
Water may change states but its structure stays the same<br>
<br>
I rise to the sky from the sea below<br>
Then down to the ground as rain and snow<br>
I keep it moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
Moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
I rise to the sky from the sea below<br>
Then down to the ground as rain and snow<br>
I keep it moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
Moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
<br>
So when water transforms from liquid to gas<br>
And rises up to the atmosphere that?s evaporation<br>
A process made possible by energy from the sun<br>
Also known as solar radiation<br>
And when the water vapor in the sky reforms<br>
Into liquid water droplets that?s condensation<br>
And when this water falls back down to the earth<br>
As rain, snow, hail, or sleet that?s precipitation<br>
But plants have their own type of evaporation<br>
Through their stomata which is called transpiration<br>
So collectively the term used for transpiration<br>
Plus all other evaporation is evapotranspiration<br>
Two more terms to add to your collection<br>
The movement of water through the air is evection<br>
And speaking of keeping it moving<br>
Understand that runoff is water flowing across the land<br>
<br>
I rise to the sky from the sea below<br>
Then down to the ground as rain and snow<br>
I keep it moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
Moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
I rise to the sky from the sea below<br>
Then down to the ground as rain and snow<br>
I keep it moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
Moving, moving cos I?m the water cycle<br>
