Time Cube Songtext
von Roger McGuinn

The planet was molded from great clouds of dust
Then molten eruptions would burst through the crust
A new sun was shining and covered the Earth
The heavens all knowing acknowledged the birth

The seas were forming before life began
It would take a long time to crawl on the land
The rivers were waiting for the arrival
The lowlands promised a place of survival


Man came from the mud, the ooze and the slime
An integral part of a master design
He gazed at the stars and the moon in the sky
Some knew they were going and some wondered why

Man made a beginning and went to the moon
A few fellow creatures predicted Earth′s doom
His colonization out into space
Is more than a great leap for the whole human race

Some dream of a journey to the neighboring star
And some will not listen, they say it's too far
He′ll create a machine and launch it someday
To reach Alpha Centauri four light years away


Then evolve to the stars of our galaxy
And write a new chapter of man's destiny
Man came from the mud and the ooze and the slime
An integral part of a master design
