Just remember you're

A tiny little person on a planet

In a universe expanding and immense

That life began evolving

And dissolving and resolving

In the deep primordial oceans

By the hydrothermal vents

Our earth which had it's birth

Almost five billion years ago

From out of a collapsing cloud of gas

Grew life which was quite new

And eventually led to you

In only three point five billion years or less

Deoxyribonucleic acid helps us replicate

And randomly mutate from day to day

We left the seas and climbed the trees

And our biologies

Continued to evolve through DNA

We're 98 9 per cent the same as chimpanzees

Whose trees we left three million years ago

To wander swapping genesout of

Africa which means

We're related to everyone we know

Life is quite strange

Life is quite weird

Life is really quite odd

Life from a star is far more bizarre

Than an old bearded bloke they call God

So gaze at the sky and start asking why

You're even here on this ball

For though life is fraught

The odds are so short

You're lucky to be here at all

Standing on a planet

Which is spinning round a star

One of just a billion trillion suns

In a Universe that's ninety billion

Light years side to side

Wondering where the heck it all came from

You've a tiny little blink of

Life to try and understand

What on earth is really going on

In biology and chemistry

Which made you you and made me me

But don't ask me I only wrote the song
