Tall Ships - Ode to Ancestors lyrics

As you lay there beside me I can't help but wonder About how something like you could come into being A link in a long chain you remain tethered to our history We know nothing about Before which I know I'm thankful Because within you every particle is perfect And your beating heart the sum of many working parts You are a triumph of natural selection Every mutation leading to your perfection And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try and I'll try This is my ode to your ancestors Appreciate your recipe, their million year masterpiece So I try You are a triumph of natural selection Every mutation leading to your perfection And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try to understand How something like you came into being How someone like you is here with me
