[chorus]
It’s a circle, a circle, yup, a circle.
The water cycle goes in a circle.
Starts with evaporation.
Rise to precipitation.
Drops back down in the form of snow, sleet, or rain
[verse]
Water is one of the reasons why there’s life on earth.
Water covers 75 percent of the earth.
The equator is an imaginary line
that divides the earth into two sides.
Halfway between the north and south pole, yeah,
the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere.
Now the water on earth goes in a cycle.
What a coincidence it’s called the water cycle.
Heat from the sun causes water from the lakes,
oceans and rivers to evaporate.
That evaporated water rises till it cools
then condenses into droplets or ice crystals.
Forming a cloud, the cloud lets the water back out
to the ground, rivers, and ponds
In the oceans and into the lakes
and starts all over when the water evaporates
