lyrics

for every living creature in the sea
the mighty Whale, the small Anemone
the Plankton, Sponge, and the Flat Worm
the Horseshoe Crab, and every fish in the world

the Octopus and the Giant Squid
the Cuttlefish and the Nautilus
the Starfish and its strange body plan
the Hydra and all Cnidarians

every Ring-tailed Lemur in the tree
the Orangutans and the Chimpanzee
the Gorilla, Gibbons and the Bonobo
and every little Monkey that I know

every singing Swallow and Chickadee
the Crow, the Magpie and the Starling
the Great Blue Heron and the Royal Swan
and little Duck in the pond

heavy purple Hippos, and the Goat
llamas, Giraffe, and the Rhino
and the other Even-Toed Ungulates
plus the Odd-, and the Sub-, like elephants

the Goblin Sharks drifting ghostly
the Grizzly Bear hibernating
the winners of Rooster pageants
the Dusky Grouse the Golden Pheasant

all the flightless birds of New Zealand
the happy Cows in Switzerland
the plentiful Canadian Goose
the rare Cozumel Raccoon

Salamanders and the Wild Boar
the Markhor with its horns of swords
the Snow Leopard with its camouflage coat
Crocodile who patiently floats

we all came from the very same parents
deep down by the hydrothermal vents

the elegant Monarch Butterfly
and its long journey to survive
the Zebra Muscles and their razor shells
the Tardigrade who could live in hell

the Glow Worms and their silky death traps
the Fireflies that light up forest paths
the Squirrels living in the big city
along with Skunks, Bats, and Bees

the boreal forest Wolverine
the Salmon in fresh water streams
the Dragonflies with kaleidoscopic eyes
Opossums who play dead to stay alive

the Penguins all huddled from the cold
the giant Tortoise hundreds years old
the fuzzy Caterpillars in the yard
the Spider who lives in my car


we all came from the very same parents
deep down by the hydrothermal vents

and branching over billions of years
so much life and hope and death and fear

I can't preserve you all in a song
and all of us will only live so long
