The planet was molded from great clouds of dust
then molten eruptions would burst through the crust
a new sun was shining and covered the earth
the heavens all knowing acknowledged the birth
The seas were forming before life began
it would take a long time to crawl on the land
the rivers were waiting for the arrival
the lowlands provided a place of survival
Man cam from the mud and the ooze and the slime
an integral part of a master design
he gazed at the stars and the moon in the sky
some knew they were going and some wondered why
Man made a beginning and went to the moon
a few fellow creatures predicted earth's doom
his colonisation out into space is more than
a great leap for the whole human race
Some dream of a journey to the neighboring star
and some will not listen, they say it's too far
he'll create a machine and launch it someday
to reach alpha centauri four light years away
Then evolve to the stars of our galaxy
and write a new chapter of man's destiny
man came from the mude and the ooze and the slime
an integral part of a master design
