Natural Selection Lyrics

History was not made entirely

By prominent men of the world

The loss of a childhood mother

A date with immortality to the grave

Humanity held a voice to be heard of the day

Years spent circling the wide world

Rarely a moment's escape from the waves

He came upon cruelty and hardship

Slavery bound, men god made

It took seven days or so they believed by the grace, grace of god

Nature the cause of it all

What do we see in the patterns of our studying

Species of trees colours of feather birds on the wing

Believing a great man of science

Has no affections heart of stone

Becoming of noble ambition

Pushing the bounds of belief the unknown

A new history shaping the way that we see everything

Nature the cause of it all

What do we see in the patterns of our studying

Farther from home must we head on our journeying

Many degrees are considered god only knows

When we return from our travels by way the wind blows

Riches were being poisoned

Old friends united in disdain

Convincing an institution

Theories that go against the grain

Was never the same after they all got to hear him explain

Nature the cause of it all

What do we see in the patterns of our studying

Farther from home must we venture before we can sing

Songs of the sea and our lovers we will atone

We will return from our travels by way the wind blown
