lirik lagu monty harper – ain’t it beautiful
[verse 1]
behold the oklahoma plain
planted with a single strain
a blanket spun from golden grain
a trillion stalks of wheat
on every stalk a perfect head
the kernels keep the combines fed
then off to manufacture bread
so everyone can eat
[chorus]
ain’t it beautiful; ain’t it clever
ain’t it just about the best news ever
a farmer feeds a nation’s needs
when man and nature work together
[verse 2]
about a half a world away
an afghan farmer starts his day
he swings a scythe to cut his hay
he threshes it by hand
he grows a mix of wheat out here
and when the weather turns austere
a strain or two may persevere
enough to meet demand
[chorus]
ain’t it beautiful; ain’t it clever
ain’t it just about the best news ever
a farmer feeds a family’s needs
when man and nature work together
[bridge]
back in oklahoma, disaster in the fields
farmers ponder pesticides while russian aphids cut their yeilds
but scientists have a weapon to help us fight this pest
the usda wheat gene bank has more than fifty thousand types to test
[verse 3]
and they find resistance built right in
to a plant from our afghan farmer friend
they cross it with our own and spin
a strain that can’t be beat
and so the oklahoma plain
ripples proudly once again
a blanket spun from golden grain
a trillion stalks of wheat
[chorus]
ain’t it beautiful; ain’t it clever
ain’t it just about the best news ever
how science feeds our global needs
when man and nature work together
