Alien Ancestor

Alien Ancestor

C#m G#m Time waits for no one, it’s

G#m F# E always moving on

C#m G#m into the future

G#m F# E each and every dawn. But

B long gone days

C#m F# have not with-

G#m G# drawn.

C#m G#m Seeds that were planted one

G#m F# E day might germinate.

C#m G#m Sown sometime before they’re born,

G#m F# E hoping they’d relate with the

B worldly realm

C#m F# at some future

G#m G# date.

Chorus:

A C#m Walking on the footpath from the past.

D C#m F#m No one’s an island or outcast.

A C#m Inside each of us unfolds our DNA,

E D F#m G#m G# ancient genetic connection on display.

C#m G#m From an asteroid we’re spawned o-

G#m F# E ver eons of time.

C#m G#m Evolving from single cells

G#m F# E born in primal slime. The en-

B zymes of life

C#m F# forge our para-

G#m G# digm.

C#m G#m Now we dominate the land, wa-

G#m F# E ter and sky above.

C#m G#m Sending out brave space scouts,

G#m F# E a labor of love.

B In search of

C#m F# our ancestor

G#m G# alien.

Chorus:

A C#m Flying in a spacecraft soaring fast

D C#m F#m from an earthly island towards what’s vast.

A C#m Inside each of us unfolds our DNA,

E D F#m G#m G# ancient genetic connection on display.

C#m G#m Within the grandness, the

G#m F# E endless universe,

C#m G#m sparks of life establish as

G#m F# E explorers disperse.

B Immersed in fervor,

C#m F# things get more di-

G#m G# verse.

C#m G#m On a distant planet

G#m F# E in a million years.

C#m G#m The apex creature

G#m F# E wonders why they’re here.

B Their ancestors are

C#m F# gone but still are

G#m G# near.

Chorus:

A C#m Nothing would exist without what’s passed.

D C#m F#m No one is an island or outcast.

A C#m Inside each of us unfolds our DNA,

E D F#m G#m G# ancient genetic connection on display.

C#m G#m Time waits for no one, it’s

G#m F# E always moving on

C#m G#m into the future

G#m F# E each and every dawn. But

B long gone days

C#m F# have not with-

G#m G# drawn.
