    Galaxy DNA Song

    Just remember you’re a tiny little person on a planet
    In a universe expanding and immense
    That life began evolving and dissolving and resolving
    In the deep primordial oceans by the hydrothermal vents
    Our earth which had its birth almost five billion years ago
    From out of a collapsing cloud of gas
    Grew life which was quite new
    And eventually led to you
    In only three point five billion years or less.

    Deoxyribonucleic acid helps us replicate
    And randomly mutate from day to day.
    We left the seas and climbed the trees
    And our biologies
    Continued to evolve through DNA.
    We’re 98.9 per cent the same as chimpanzees
    Whose trees we left three million years ago
    To wander swapping genes out of Africa which means
    We’re related to everyone we know.

    Life is quite strange
    Life is quite weird,
    Life is really quite odd
    Life from a star is far more bizarre,
    Than an old bearded man they call God
    So gaze at the sky, and start asking why
    You’re even here on this ball
    For though life is fraught
    The odds are so short
    You’re lucky to be here at all…

    Standing on a planet which is spinning round a star
    One of just a billion trillion suns
    In a Universe that’s ninety billion light years side to side
    Wondering where the heck it all came from.
    You’ve a tiny little blink of life to try and understand
    What on earth is really going on
    In biology and chemistry
    Which made you you and made me me
    But don’t ask me I only wrote the song.
