28 Days ... and humming

I really did not intend for my blog to morph into a Disney count down, but I have had the course of this song stuck in my head all week.



It is the theme song from one of Epcot's original attractions: Listen to the Land. You may remember it as "the boat ride through the greenhouse." There is something really peaceful about riding a boat down an air conditioned river after spending a day in the Florida sun. Maybe that's why I love it? Maybe its just the sight of all the odd things growing there.

The song isn't played on the ride anymore. The ride isn't even called Listen to the Land anymore. They took out the cheesy theme song and made the psychedelic opening into a rain forest scene instead. Now we are Living with the Land, not listening to it.

Here are the lyrics of you want to sing along:

Just make believe, you're a tiny little seed,
a tiny little seed that's reaching up to meet your need.
With the right amount of faith, and the right amount of earth,
you'll grow to see the sunshine on your day of birth.

Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.
Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.

When springtime comes, how can you tell?
The air is always filled with orange blossom smell.
Come summertime, the warmest sun shines,
and world is full of flowers and good melon rinds.

Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.
Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.

When autumn falls, it's a harvest show,
with north winds blowing all the seeds that it must sow.
Come winter time, the rain must fall,'
till once again the new year and the springtime call.

Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.
Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.

The seasons come, and the seasons go,
nature knows everything that it must know.
The earth and man, can be good friends,
let's listen so our harvest time will never end.

Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.
Let's listen to the land we all love,
nature's plan will shine above,
listen to the land, listen to the land.
