I've got a song in my head

Woke up this morning with kind of a rappy drumbeat going in my head, (da-da-da-dum bum, da-da-da-dum bum) which turned into the following spoken word poetry piece:

Used to be an apple, now it's a seed.
Used to be a seed, now it's a sapling.
Used to be a sapling, now it's a tree.
Used to be a tree, now it's firewood.

Used to be firewood, now it's a fire.
Used to be a fire, now it's ash.
Used to be ash, now it's fertilizer.
Used to be fertilizer, now it's corn.

The cycle is turning,
The cycle is turning,
Life is returning, 'cause
The cycle is turning,

The cycle is turning,
The cycle is turning,
We gotta let the wheels go round.

Used to be corn, now it's food scraps.
Used to be food scraps, now it's a chicken.
Used to be a chicken, now it's soup.
Used to be soup, and now it's poop.

Used to be poop, now it's sewage.
Used to be sewage, now it's sludge.
Used to be sludge, and now it's . . . landfill waste.

Used to be sludge, and now it's. . .landfill waste.

Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,
Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,

The cycle is broken,
We gotta repair it,
We gotta make the wheels go round.

Used to be an acorn, now it's an oak.
Used to be an oak, now it's lumber.
Used to be lumber, now it's a floor.
Used to be a floor, now it's. . .landfill waste.

Used to be a sofa, now it's. . .landfill waste.

Used to be diapers, now it's. . .landfill waste.

Used to be a high rise, now it's. . .landfill waste.

Used to be a skyscraper, now it's. . .landfill waste.

Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,
Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,

The cycle is broken,
We gotta repair it,
We gotta make the wheels go round.

Used to be an ocean, now it's a cloud.
Used to be a cloud, now it's rain.
Used to be rain, now it's a stream.
Used to be a stream, and now it's a lake.

Used to be a lake, now it's a river.
Used to be a river, now it's. . .fracking fluid.
Used to be fracking fluid, now it's. . .toxic waste.

Used to be a river, now it's. . .toxic waste.

Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,
Something is broken,
The cycle is broken,
The cycle is broken,
We gotta repair it,
We gotta make the wheels go round.

Used to be an ocean, now it's a cloud.

Used to be a cloud, now it's rain.

Used to be rain, now it's sap.

Used to be sap, now it's a fruit.

Used to be a fruit, now it's a salad.

Used to be a salad, now it's you.

Used to be a salad, now it's you.

Now it's you.

Now it's you.

You're part of the cycle,

You're part of the cycle,

You gotta repair it,

You're part of the cycle,

You're part of the cycle,

You gotta repair it,

You gotta make the wheels go round.

You gotta make the wheels go round.
