[Verse] Once a seed of distant land Found its way to foreign sand Under sun and ocean's gaze The legend of the red fruit plays [Verse 2] Beneath the olive trees so wise In the heart of grapevine skies Tomato whispers ancient lore Of voyages and much more [Chorus] Oh the paths that it has crossed Seas it sailed and storms it tossed From native soil to foreign coast A fruit now loved by most [Bridge] On Mediterranean shores it gleams A gift from long forgotten dreams In salads fresh and sauces grand Tomato journeys 'cross the land [Verse 3] Basil by its side at night They dance in moon's soft silver light Among the markets' vibrant song The tomato finds where it belongs [Chorus] Oh the paths that it has crossed Seas it sailed and storms it tossed From native soil to foreign coast A fruit now loved by most
