Round the sun so brightly burning
Day by day we go sojourning
All aboard this twisting, turning
Space ship called the planet earth
From the sun comes radiation
Solar source of all creation
Force for full regeneration
Free of charge for all it’s worth
Puzzled on the planet, stranded
With the baggage we were handed
At that point where we were granted
Passage through the universe
None of us can boast of knowing
Where a one of us is going
From this stage where we keep showing
Acts which we did not rehearse
Naked we all come here needing
Constant care and frequent feeding
Just a helpless breed of pleading
Creatures crying to survive
Without nature’s laws to guide us
Without nature to provide us
Nourishment to put inside us
Not a one would be alive
That’s why it becomes appalling
To see greedy creatures crawling
‘cross our planet vainly calling
This, or that spot, their domain
Man! Our kind did not begin it
All the power mankind has in it
Hardly equals any minute
Of a single hurricane
After all we’re only human
Every blessed man and woman
Inching quickly toward a tomb and
Meanwhile feeling for some fun
This not everyone agrees on
Still it seems to stand to reason
To make sense of this brief season
We are spending in the sun
Like a relay racer’s baton
What we’re spending must be passed on
No soft spots here to be sat on
Only points from which we spring
Into regions more eternal
Whether holy, or infernal
Is a point of deep concern all
Ages are left pondering
Reason is a tool a lever
We employ when we are clever
As we journey through forever
To another point of view
Life the baggage we are bearing
Calls for reason’s constant caring
Through this spell on earth we’re sharing
You with me, and I with you
