Secular Story

G
It all started with one big blast
B7
The singularity expanded fast
Am
Building blocks of matter came to be
D7. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . D
They turned into atoms eventually

Matter was distributed evenly
Areas grew denser because gravity
Making the dust clouds that formed the stars
That gathered into galaxies just like ours

In the beginning the sun was alone
And then the planets made it their home
That’s the time the earth met the moon
Mysteriously life would come soon

Algae in the oceans made oxygen
Along came the fish with their fins
Out of the water they walked with their legs
Sweeping the planet egg by egg

They evolved into beautiful things
Like the birds that fly with their wings
The planet was host to so many animals
Soon it gave rise to the mammals

Creatures like whales returned to the sea
But some like monkey turned to the trees
After the ape came back down
We got a chance to come around

Man sought to dominate over nature
Little did he know what that would mean later
Overindulgence will lead to the end
And then the earth can try again
