Come on, hop on, let's take a ride
Come and meet the travelers who came to town
They have a tale from the past to tell
From the great dark between the stars
We are a special speck of dust
A fleeting moment on an ark
A celebration, a resthaven
Of life
Lay on a field of green
With Mother Eve
With Father Pine reaching high
Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
Unfolding rendezvous
[Chorus]
Deep into the past
Follow the aeon path
Greet a blade of gra**
Every endless form most beautiful
Alive, aware, in awe
Before the grandeur of it all
Our floating pale blue ark
Of endless forms most beautiful
Beyond aeons we take a ride
Welcoming the shrew that survived
To see the Tiktaalik take her first walk
Witness the birth of flight
Deeper down in Panthala**a
A eukaryote finds her way
We return to the very first one
Greet the one we'll soon become
Lay on a field of green
With Mother Eve
With Father Pine reaching high
Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
Unfolding rendezvous
[Chorus] x 2
