The Origin Of Species

Guess it's quite hard to believe
That we all come from the same seed;
The scrub, the cockroach, and the human being.
It's hard to see
How the perfection of complex organs
Was achieved without an engineer.

But all you see is the human eye.
On top of the mountain peak, so high,
A steep wall of rock,
Impossible to climb;
Our imagination is left behind.

But, there is
A firm slope on the backside.
And, even worms have simple eyes
That help them distinguish darkness from light.

And, from here it just takes a long, long time.
To the miracle of the lens eye.

Our brains are accustomed
To the scope of a lifetime.
We will never be able to see
How the sluggish vessel of evolution
Is slowly creeping up the hill.

There's no other solution.
There's no other solution.
There's no alternative to the theory of evolution.

And, from here it just takes a long, long time.
To the miracle of the lens eye.
