lyrics

Em G D A
Hands chip the flint, light the fire, skin the kill
Feet move the tribe track the herd with a will
Human-kind struggles, on the edge of history
Time to settle down, time to grow, time to breed [B7]

Plow tills the soil, plants the seed, pray for rain
Scythe reaps the wheat, to the mill, to grind the grain
Towns.. and.. cities spread to empire overnight
Hands keep building as we chant the ancient rite...

Coal heats the steam, push the piston, turns the wheel
Cogs spin the wool, drives the horses made of steel
Lightning harnessed does our will and lights the dark
Keep rising higher, set our goal, hit the mark...

[Interlude] (2 iterations of Em/G/D/A, one iteration of solid Em)

Crawl.. out.. of... the mud.
On... go... ing... but slow.
path... that is easy
one... that... lets us grow

Light push the sails, read the data, cities glow
Hands type the keys, click the mouse, out we go!
Our voices carry round the world and into space
Send us out to colonize another place¸

Hands, make the tools, light the fire, plant the grain
Feet, track the herd, build a world, begin again
