Terra Nexus
Once in time from the end of stars
Worlds were made
And bodies that became ours
For on this world a tiny thing began to move
It moved then it changed
And it became me and you
Sunlight became food
Corpses became soil
Life covered this planet
In bliss and in toil
Breath becomes breath
Meals come from death
Life is one
From the molecule to the inside of our heads
What did we do?
What shall we do?
What will you do?
