From Whence We Came Lyrics

The potential for life that's contained in the strands of our DNA is somewhere between the immeasurably large and the infinite

The numbers are such that the chances our lives would co-align are unthinkably small imperceptibly so infinitesimal yet here we are

To die is to live and as such those who are born are the lucky ones

Albeit finite time is all we have and remember we're all destined to return from whence we came

The reality is that our time on the earth an average of tens of years is incredibly short in comparison to the total available

We're all equal in that we return to the state that we were before we were born

The inexorable end that waits for us all and doesn't discriminate

Our emergence from dark is a blip on the continuum of time we've beaten the odds,so embrace our brief time in the sun

We privileged few have the opportunity to experience consciousness when most will not

Ultimately we're an animated amalgam of elements born from the death of stars

And the product of 4 billion years of evolution conduct yourselves as such

Enduring is the process that's lead to our being the succession of successful descendants from single celled life down to us

Found in the strata is a linear path a course held true by nature no missing links nor empty gaps

The opportunity remains to come to an understanding on the origins of life and our place in the universe

The only prerequisites are the presence of a healthy scepticism unending humility and exhaustive and rigorous contemplation

Comprehension of facts means little without the application of change our inaction prolongs and even perpetuates cycles of indifference

Only genuine growth will lead to a life that is truly meaningful engaging in less would be rightly construed as virtuous posturing

Our emergence from dark is a blip on the continuum of time we've beaten the odds so embrace our brief time in the sun

Present yourself with a posture that communicates competence and actions that will confirm

And treat yourself like the result of a 4 billion year long process of natural selection

Surround yourself with like-minded people who want the best for you and you the best for them

Enduring is the process that contributes to growth ensure you measure success not by retracing other's steps only your own

Instil descendants with knowledge of right and wrong and think before you speak as to not criticise without intention

The opportunity remains to pursue what maintains your interest be honest in what you say and live your life as though you have much to learn

Be sure to mean what you say allow for others to learn from their mistakes

The final point to be made allocate time for meaningful contemplation
