The Greatest Show on Earth - Melodysheep

How could one species turn into another

How is it that we find ourselves

Surrounded by such complexity such elegance

The genes of you and me

The genes of you and me

They're all made of DNA

We're all made of the same chemicals

DNA-we're all made of DNA

We're all made of the same chemicals

Only the fittest survive

And that is the key

Natural selection

That is the key

We are surrounded by endless forms

Most beautiful most wonderful

Evolution-the greatest show on Earth

There is grandeur in this view of life

Evolution-the greatest show on Earth

Greatest show on Earth

The history of life can be thought of

As a many branched tree

The five kingdoms of life

Were established early on

Bacteria

Protists-amoeba like creatures

Fungi

Plants

And animals

We find ourselves perched on one tiny twig

In the midst of a blossoming tree of life

Perched on one tiny twig

In the midst of a blossoming tree of life

Only the fittest survive

And that is the key

Natural selection

That is the key

We are surrounded by endless forms

Most beautiful most wonderful

Evolution-the greatest show on Earth

There is grandeur in this view of life

Beautiful life wonderful

Evolution-the greatest show on Earth

Greatest show on Earth

We are surrounded by millions of other species

Walking flying burrowing stalking chasing fleeing

Outpacing

Animals strive to reach this one ultimate goal

To ensure the survival of the next generation

This one ultimate goal

To pass on their genes

That is what life is all about is all about

There is grandeur in this view of life

Is beautiful life wonderful

Evolution-the greatest show on Earth

As we look back on the history of life

We see a picture of never ending

Ever rejuvinating novelty

Those animals may seem to us to be very remote

Strange even fantastic

But all of us alive today

Owe our very existence to them
