Roger McGuinn - Time Cube lyrics

The planet was molded from great clouds of dust Then molten eruptions would burst through the crust A new sun was shining and covered the earth The heavens all knowing acknowledged the birth The seas were forming before life began It would take a long time to crawl on the land The rivers were waiting for the arrival The lowlands provided a place of survival Man cam from the mud and the ooze and the slime An integral part of a master design He gazed at the stars and the moon in the sky Some knew they were going and some wondered why Man made a beginning and went to the moon A few fellow creatures predicted earth's doom His colonisation out into space is more than A great leap for the whole human race Some dream of a journey to the neighboring star And some will not listen, they say it's too far He'll create a machine and launch it someday To reach Alpha Centauri four light years away Then evolve to the stars of our galaxy And write a new chapter of man's destiny Man came from the mude and the ooze and the slime An integral part of a master design
