Oh Sol, Oh Sol
Oh Sol, Oh Sol,
You have been there to see it all.
From Meteors and Craters
to Meat and P'taters.
The Lord set you above us with distinctive ire,
to give Earth life by your distant fire.
You have seen the planets ever go 'round,
Continuing fixation as worlds abound.
Your warmth gave us the atmosphere we cherish,
from the first amoeba to the dinosaurs' perish.
Then, as we cooled in your radiant light,
Man was formed and stood upright.
We seem to have no lack of *****,
as can be witnessed by our "space junk".
We have seen your eclipses a time or two,
We have visited the moon, and other planets too.
What we lack is a humble nature,
for Man is but a prideful creature.
We think we are the "Cat's Meow",
when all we are is the back end of a sow.
We will be humbled and afraid as you slowly grow,
Swallowing planets along the way as you go.
So, when the Lord tells you to finally fall,
Remind us of His forgiveness, Oh Sol, Oh Sol.
