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. |
