lyrics

3 billion years ago
on a planet vast and grey
there was no oxygen
and no one to breathe

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

some bacteria started it
turned green: cyanobacteria
the first green ever
from there algae evolved

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

producing oxygen from carbon
the algae enriched the air
made a shield from the sun
made the skies blue

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

it took
40 million years
maybe 50 million years
100 million years

it was 200 millions years
400 millions years
maybe 500 millions years
and then

merging submerging
algae and mitochondria
making cell structures
institutions of life

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

then surprisingly
an outburst of life
algaes in all shapes and sizes
everything was just right

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

it was 500 millions years
maybe 600 million years
or 800 millions years

it was 1 billions years
2 billions years

and 500 million more..

for 2.5 billions years
the algae ruled the world
algaes in all shapes and sizes
algae empire

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years

millions of millions of years
millions and millions of years
millions and millions and millions and millions of years
