  • Come on, hop on, let's take a ride
    Come and meet the travelers who came to town
    They have a tale from the past to tell
    From the great dark between the stars

    We are a special speck of dust
    A fleeting moment on an ark
    A celebration, a resthaven of life

    Lay on a field of green with mother Eve
    With Father Pine, reaching high
    Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
    Unfolding rendezvous

    Deep into the past
    Follow the aeon path
    Greet a blade of grass
    Every endless form most beautiful
    Alive, aware, in awe
    Before the grandeur of it all
    Our floating pale blue ark
    Of endless forms most beautiful

    Beyond aeons we take a ride
    Welcoming the shrew that survived
    To see the Tiktaalik
    Take her first walk, witness the birth of flight

    Deeper down in Panthalassa
    A eukaryote finds her way
    We return to the very first one
    Greet the one we'll soon become

    Lay on a field of green with mother Eve
    With Father Pine, reaching high
    Look at yourself in the eyes of aye-aye
    Unfolding rendezvous

    Deep into the past
    The lonely eon path
    Greet a blade of grass
    Every endless form most beautiful

    Alive, aware, in awe
    Before the grandeur of it all
    Our floating pale blue ark
    Of endless forms most beautiful

    Deep into the past
    The lonely eon path
    Greet a blade of grass
    Every endless form most beautiful

    Alive, aware, in awe
    Before the grandeur of it all
    Our floating pale blue ark
    Of endless forms most beautiful Writer/s: Tuomas Holopainen
