Karaoké Natural Science Rush

When the ebbing tide retreats along the rocky shoreline

It leaves a trail of tidal pools in a shortlived galaxy

Each microcosmic planet

A complete society

A simple kind mirror to reflect upon our own

All the busy little creatures chasing out their destinies

Living in their pools

They soon forget about the sea

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array

A pattern so grand and complex

Time after time we lose sight of the way our causes can't see their effects

A quantum leap forward in time and in space

The universe learned to expand

Mess and the magic

Triumphant and tragic

A mechanized world out of hand

Computerized clinic for superior cynics who dance to a synthetic band

In their own image their world is fashioned

No wonder they don't understand

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array

A pattern so grand and complex

Time after time we lose sight of the way our causes can't see their effects

Science like nature must also be tamed with a view towards its preservation

Given the same state of integrity it will surely serve us well

Art as expression not as market campaigns will still capture our imaginations

Given the same state of integrity it will surely help us along

The most endangered species

The honest man will still survive annihilation

Forming a world state of integrity

Sensitive

Open and strong

Wave after wave will flow with the tide and bury the world as it does

Tide after tide will flow and recede

Leaving life to go on as it was
