Three hundred thousand years ago, A tiny spark began to grow, A fragile creature, small and slight, Still searching for a way to fight. The beasts were faster, strong, and tall, They ruled the earth, they ruled it all, But we had something they could not see, A mind that dreamed of what could be. Chorus Step by step, we climbed the hill, Learning more, and learning still, Stone and fire, words and signs, Building worlds inside our minds. Verse 2 The ancient hands shaped stone and bone, Made tools and paths they called their own, Fire gave the night a glow, A gift from those who came long ago. Verse 3 Then came the words, the human voice, A way to share, a way to rejoice, Stories carried through the years, Passing wisdom, hopes, and fears. Verse 4 Then came the marks, the written page, A message traveling age to age, A thought could live when we were gone, A human light that carried on. Final Chorus Step by step, we climbed the hill, Learning more, and learning still, From ancient caves to distant stars, We’ve come this far — now here we are.
