A hundred billion years ago We came out of the fire Hands and feet from gills and fins Pulled us from the mire Generations come and go With each a subtle change Time enough to watch the seasons Turn from snow to rain
Sands are shifting the earth and the sea Don't fear the spirit of change
Under the sky and the trees Crawling right out of the sea The future is for you and me Evolution Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Science marches on Turning black night into day Somehow somewhere we believe It will stay that way Generations disengage All that came before Changing further rearranging On forevermore
Sands are shifting the earth and the sea Don't fear the spirit of change
Under the sky and the trees Crawling right out of the sea The future is for you and me Evolution Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Under the sky and the trees Crawling right out of the sea The future is for you and me Evolution Revolution Evolution Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
It's like a daydream, clouds through the haze Laki a Dali scene, melting away It paints a picture, lights in the sky In the valley low, mountains so high
A hundred billion years from now We won't look the same All that will remain Is the face of constant change Time goes on forever, never running out Likely we will never know Just what it's all about
Sands are shifting the earth and the sea Don't fear the spirit of change
