We call it soil

Chorus
   It is our life! We call it soil
   It is the stuff, in which we toil
   From soil we've sprung, to soil we'll go
   Protect the soil of this earth so we can grow
 

Verse I
   From the podsols beneath snow drifts
   To aridisols where few crops live
   Soil is as varied, as the rainbow
   And is as precious as a rainbow's pot of gold
 

Chorus
 

Verse II
   Some soils are dry, some soils are wet
   Some soils are fertile and from them high yields you get
   But if you don't, give to the soil
   Then you will not reap a thing for all your toil
 

Chorus
 

Verse III
   We study chelates, leachates and porosity
   We learn our muck and peat and mineralogy
   Some study urban, some study rural
   And we can tell just by the smell who's in manural
 

Chorus
 

Verse IV
   Soils are just like, humanity
   With yellow, brown, red, black and white, you'll see
   That some are dull, and some are gray
   And can fall prey to greed of man that's our decay
 

Chorus
 

Verse V
   A living world beneath our feet
   It even lives, beneath our streets
   With flora and fauna, so complete
   That it can save us from the brownfields of defeat
 

Chorus (Out)
