A cradle Earth, horizons unseen
Bb                           Dm
New world in thirst, for the arcane

Will have a visit, as along came heartbeat

Verse 3:
Dm
We remember, father Pikaia
Bb                          Dm
Gave the way, as along came Sapien
                F               C
The cradle Earth, welcoming its newborn
Gm                          Dm
Aeons since that very first acorn

Dm
Together now, in this timeless parade
Bb                    Dm
The living lie, dead afraid
                  F               C
Then they saw the moon, and found caring
Gm                         Dm
We remember, as along came writing

Verse 4:
Dm
Such worlds were there, zoos dead again
Bb                            Dm
After all, we should've never appeared
               F                    C
Spaceship Earth, through the fields of time
Gm                             Dm
They understood, as along came wisdom

Bridge:
Bb               Gm       F
We have been here, here a while
       Am                       Dm
At the end of Pi, as along came harvest

Chorus:
Eb                       Bb
We will remember all the suffering
   Cm                              Gm
We wrote this in a tongue you will understand
Eb                                 Bb
Words and melodies with a touch of coloring
Cm                              Gm
We were there and will remember mankind
    Eb
Our kin
Gm     Eb    G
Aeons ago
