Green Belt Lyrics
(spoken) “Ah, the equatorial region.”
CHORUS
It’s the green belt on this blue ball
where it’s always warm, warm, warm, warm.
It’s where most life has evolved
and ice so rarely forms.
Long ago, the land mass separated
into the continents we know today.
That’s when the Andes elevated,
and all the rivers flowed the same way.
CHORUS
That’s how the basin of the Amazon came to be.
For 40 million years, it’s been wet.
Through the ice ages, there were islands of trees.
Those islands haven’t been dry yet.
CHORUS
And now all around the islands of the tropics,
so many kinds of corals grow
into the mighty reefs where so many fish mix.
It?s a many species multicolored show.
