(chorus)
Now I see a change, you see a change, I see a change, on the surface
They see a change, we see a change, they see a change, on the surface
(verse1)
Now, what can affect the changes of the earth’s surface?
Let’s see, that’s erosion, erosion
When rocks and soil are broken down and wears down the surface,
that’s erosion, erosion
Weathering happens when rocks break apart
due to the weather, mechanical and chemical
Weathering happens when rocks break apart
due to the weather, mechanical and chemical
Mechanical weathering happens when rocks break apart
because of flowing water or ice
Mechanical weathering happens when rocks break apart
because it’s too cold or too hot
In chemical weathering water dissolves the minerals
in the rock and the rock breaks apart
In chemical weathering water dissolves the minerals
in the rock and the rock breaks apart

Now I see a change, you see a change, I see a change, on the surface
They see a change, we see a change, they see a change, on the surface
Now I see a change, you see a change, I see a change, on the surface
They see a change, we see a change, they see a change, on the surface
(verse2)
A canyon is a valley between cliffs
There’s often a river flowing through it
The river eroded the layers of rocks
and weather caused erosion to occur
Mountains sit high their naturally made
when the earth’s crust fold into great waves
From lava, a volcanic mountain is made
and erosion gives mountains their shape
It can be an earthquake that changes the shape
of the earth’s surface that starts to shake
It can be a volcano that’s opened up
from which lava, gases and rock erupts
(chorus)
Now I see a change, you see a change, I see a change, on the surface
They see a change, we see a change, they see a change, on the surface
Now I see a change, you see a change, I see a change, on the surface
They see a change, we see a change, they see a change, on the surface

Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals
Bifocals or glasses, if you don’t know
Benjamin wanted to prove that lightning is electricity
So Benjamin conducted a famous kite experiment with a key
Benjamin helped to start America’s first library
He helped to put streetlights and paved roads in Philadelphia, the city
The Declaration of Independence was partly written by Benjamin
Benjamin also signed the United States Constitution
Benjamin Franklin was a scientist and an inventor
Benjamin Franklin was a writer and a leader
Benjamin Franklin’s face is on the hundred bill I spent
What Benjamin Franklin was not? He was not President
