LYRICS
Covering a lifespan
Thinking back to a little zygote
The words get caught in my throat
Breaking free of the uterus
To make the family of us
Covering a lifespan
No notion of inevitable death
Taking my first breath
Let it out with a primal scream
Told the world what I mean
Covering a lifespan
Still living… yes, I am
Shortly thereafter learned to walk
Walk the walk and talk the talk
Using limbs figured how to climb
Using mind figured how to rhyme
(Making the best use of time)
Covering a lifespan
Still living… yes, I am
(Hope to do it again)
Thinking back to a little zygote
The words get caught in my throat
Let it out with a primal scream
Told the world what I mean
PART II
Way back when I was a little one
Couldn’t walk… couldn’t run
Each day I would rise and shine
Learning how to find fine
Covering a lifespan
Never wanted to play the fool
Learned to run off to join school
Thirds, threes, birds, and bees
Studied all of these
Covering a lifespan
Still living… yes, I am
To this day I wonder why
Earth, water, fire, sky
What is this? Where am I?
Can I serve my purpose ’til I die?
Covering a lifespan
Still living… yes, I am
(Hope to do it again)
