Ancient rocks have recorded the pivotal moments
In Earth's planetary evolution
Of which humans only represent the very last speck of time
Life on Earth (Earth [2x])
Extinguishes itself quickly
Life is precious
It is the product of four or so billion years
Of a delicate and complex co-evolution between life and Earth
Of which humans only represent the very last speck of time
You can use this information as a guide or a forecast
Or an explanation as to why it seems so
Lonely in this part of the galaxy
But use it to gain some perspective
About the legacy that you want to leave behind
On the planet that you call home
