Dear Galactic Child
Impress me...
Along the path planet Earth once spun
Exists an empty orbit around the sun
I’ll give you nothing, but stardust
To recreate a haven, to pass this test
Surprise me...
I’ll give you nothing, but primordial soup
A desert, a rain forest, to evolve an ape
Out from thin air, capture a lightning bolt
To power all your future needs on this planet
Learn the secrets of the universe...
Everything known is powered by solar energy, a clean fuel
All the molecules that don't understand this are fossils
Your cocoon is launched, your womb safe from harm
The mother ship preserves your life like a sacred farm
Brightest your tomorrows...
I’ll give you only 23 chromosomes to evolve 100’000 genes
An infinite number of mutations to birth all manner of geniuses
Build me metropolitan cities from caves and burrows
Give me a substance, to launch dreams out of this furrow
