about

They're tiny but important.

lyrics

Melosira normannii
Discostella stelligera
Encyonema hamsherae
Lindavia praetermissa
Kurtkrammeria weilandii

Halamphora latecostata
Tabularia fasciculata
Cymbella perfossilis
Sellaphora laevissima
Achnanthes rostellata

They feed the whales
They fix the carbon
They make sugar all day long
In their houses made of glass
As they drift among the currents
Silent and unseen
Every day

Pleurosigma salinarum
Lioloma delicatulum
Detonula pumila
Lauderia annulata
Eucampia zodiacus

They feed the whales
They fix the carbon
They make sugar all day long
In their houses made of glass
As they save the world every day
Silent and unseen
As they save the world
Every day
