Ooh baby you know you can make diamonds out of my graphite
and darlin' you know the dust of me twinkles in starlight
I was known to the ancients in charcoal painting
and the fourteenth version of me is used for dating

I am carbon
I am the basis for life as we know it
I am carbon
and if it grows you know you need me to grow it

I have seen me some hydrocarbons went all the way
got up inside some fluorocarbons and DNA
amino acids everyone of them is on my jock
been in everything from seawater to rock

I am carbon
I am the basis for life as we know it
I am carbon
and if it grows you know you need me to grow it
