Life Comes From Life

(Verse 1)
From the day we arrived on the planet
And blinking, stepped into the sun,
Mankind had a dream, it is clear to be seen,
We have wondered how life had begun.
(Verse 2)
And as scientists look for the answer,
They keep looking around and around.
Yes the scientists try, and they keep asking, “Why?”
But the process has never been found.
(Chorus 1)
The beginning of life
Didn’t start with good fortune.
That leap of faith
Is nothing but hope.
The more science discovers
The story’s unwinding
Science has shown us, life comes from life.
(instrumental interlude)
(Verse 3)
Because life couldn’t start in a warm pond,
Some claim life must have formed in the stars.
And if that’s not the case, they will just change the place
And say that it got here from Mars!
(Chorus 2)
The beginning of life
Didn’t start in a warm pond,
Or an undersea vent,
Or come down out of space.
There’s no doubt any more.
One thing is for certain.
It’s settled science, life comes from life.
(Verse 3)
Darwin said, “It is eat or be eaten.”
"In the jungle," he said, “it’s the norm.”
But it must be agreed, it all starts with a seed
Dumb luck can't make a cell form.
(Chorus 3)
The beginning of life
Didn’t start with good fortune.
Four random bases
Didn’t form DNA.
The more science discovers,
The story’s unwinding.
Science has shown us, life comes from life.
