I'm Atoms (Scientific Cover of Jason Mraz's I'm Yours)

Well, an atom's made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The first two in the nucleus, the third around it. It's mostly empty space, but it feels solid in any case. The elements are all the different types of atoms; they differ by the number of protons in the middle. Hydrogen has only one, but Uranium has a ton. It's just chemistry that you and me are made of these atoms.

Well, atoms bond together to form molecules. Most of what's surrounding me and you: water, sugar, things yet undreamed of. Look around you, see the combinations in a eucalypt tree. Mendeleev's periodicity gives us sand and water and the air above. It's just chemistry that you and me are made of these atoms: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, make up the world's life forms.

Do do do you, do do do do, but do you wonder how matter forms something strange when there's a chemical change? Where did these atoms come from? They were fused in stars. Light elements combine, releasing light from afar. Fusion in the sun creates helium.

I guess what I be saying is you gotta use your reason to open up your mind and see the cause of the seasons. How do we know what's true? The scientific method shows you. It's just chemistry that you and me are made of these atoms.

Atoms bond together to form molecules. Most of what's surrounding me and you: water, sugar, sand, and you'll find things undreamed of. Argon, neon, xenon. There's no need to overstate 'cause we are, of course, this, of this, of this, we're made: atoms.
