The Way That We Lean

Beth Nielsen Chapman

The changes of seasons affect all of life
The reasons aren't easily seen
It all has to do with the angle of light
Yes it's all in the way that we lean

Our mothership Earth keeps us spinning around
Creating each new day we see
The axis of spin isn't straight up and down
It tilts twenty three some degrees

It's all in the way that we're leaning my friend
It's all in the way that we lean
In winter and summer the fall and in spring
It's all in the way that we lean

In summer Earth's farther away from the Sun
In winter it's closer they say
So distance just isn't why you freeze your buns
Your hemisphere's tilting away

It's all in the way that we're leaning my friend
It's all in the way that we lean
In winter and summer the fall and the spring
It's all in the way that we lean

It's all in the way that we lean
