There is a garden that doesn't need watering
Cos it's under the sea
Down where the clownfish hide in their anemones
In the coral reef
Reef gardens grow
Zooxanthellae they glow
It forms a place for thousands upon thousand
Lifeforms to call home
Corals are animals not plants
Together in a coral colony
By the light of a full moon
Coral polyps spawn in synchrony
Corals can also clone themselves in buds
To start new colonies
Reef gardens grow
Zooxanthellae they glow
It forms a place for thousands upon thousand
Lifeforms to call home
Coral reefs take thousands and thousands of years to form
So coral gardeners around the world
Are diving and seeding the nurseries
To keep corals living on
So here is the garden that doesn't need watering
Cos it's under the sea
It only takes sunlight, time and community
To build a coral reef
For a coral reef
And the reef gardens grow
And zooxanthellae they glow
It forms a place for thousands upon thousand
Lifeforms to call home
Coral reefs take thousands and thousands of years to form
So coral gardeners around the world
Are diving and planting and helping
To keep corals living on
