Ode to Ancestors Songtext
von Tall Ships

As you lay there beside me I can′t help but wonder about
How something like you could come into being
A link in a long chain you remain tethered to our history
We know nothing about before which I know I'm thankful
Because within you every particle is perfect
And your beating heart the sum of many working parts

You are a triumph of natural selection
Every mutation leading to your perfection
And I′ll try and I'll try and I'll try
And I′ll try and I′ll try and I'll try


This is my ode to your ancestors
Appreciate your recipe, their million year masterpiece

So I try
So I try
So I try
So I try
So I try
So I try
So I try
So I try
You are a triumph of natural selection
Every mutation leading to your perfection
And I′ll try and I'll try and I′ll try and I'll try ti understand
