A Rock Is Not Just A Rock
Yes, my friend, it does look like a rock
But it could be so much more
All you have to do is look beyond
Let your mind wander just a little bit
Maybe that rock came to Earth long ago
Bringing with it the stuff of life
It may carry the bodies of the life it created
A record of a time before time itself
Possibly it traveled in the more recent past
Hitching a ride in the ice of a glacier
Cutting new lakes and rivers as it moved
Whatever its history was or whatever stories it has
It has been around for longer than anything else
And that means that you should not look at it as a rock
It is more than that
It is a part of us and always has been
And always will be
