Once there was a time
When all the stars were new
Planet Earth was just a boiling lava stew
And nothing lived at all
Hundred million years
The rain is comin' down
Somethin' in the deep
Little lives are floatin' around
And even breathin' air
And no one knows exactly how they got there
Billions of years
Here's the part where we come in
Farming, forming towns
And thinkin' on our sins
And lookin' up at the stars
And dreamin' of worlds afar
And wonderin' who we are
And no one knows exactly where we'll end up
Each new light of day comes and fades away
Every breath fills the air everywhere
