Ivan Lins- Evolution

We can travel to the planets Drive a mile through solid granite Thrive in all extremes of weather But we cannot live together We have pondered our existence Tracked the comets in the distance But we’re overcome with blindness By an act of human kindness We have ventured where None have gone before us But in matters fundamental We are patterned on an old design Welcome back Tyrannosaurus Evolution is a state of mind We have filled the halls of science With the bones of mighty giants They’d all been there for generations Buried under our foundations It’s a page right out of history Everything is still a mystery All except for one distinction We can stop our own extinction We have set ourselves apart From all that’s gone before us But in matters fundamental We are victims of an old design Here’s your chance Tyrannosaurus Maybe we can get it right this time Grab a club and join the chorus Evolution is a state of mind
