1. We've elevated our genes from one-celled things and developed thinking brains

We've crawled out of the seas and climbed up the trees and then climbed down again

Now we've multiplied and species have died from our overpopulation

We've polluted the air, oxygen's getting rare from deforestation

Yeah, we're stripping the Earth for all that it's worth and it can't be restored again

Animals and plants from redwoods to ants suffer at the humans' hands

Chorus 1:

We must remind ourselves just who we are and how our lives began

For we are remnants of exploded stars, descendents of the Big Bang

If we allow ourselves a humble fate, then we'll be to blame

For betraying a heritage so great that we won't deserve the name. . . homo sapiens

2. For we are dust from the stars and have journeyed so far from explosive origins

We have reasoned our way to a glorious day of world domination

We've reached into our souls to accomplish our goals of liberation

From natural bounds that could cause us to drown in seas of limitation

Now the future is yours to discover the cures from self-annihilation

Step out of your shell, climb out of this hell built by past generations

[Chorus 1]

Chorus 2:

We must remind ourselves just who we are and how our lives began

For we are remnants of exploded stars, descendents of the Big Bang

If we pursue a noble destiny worthy of our name

We can justify our ancestry and we'll deserve the claim. . . to true wisdom
