The story of life This is the story of life Of beginnings and the end And what happens to all of us before we become dust in the wind You see, Life is evolutionary Changing all of the time As is this tale of life Evolving line by line Just as from the single acorn A mighty oak will grow so high Or from a pupae in a cocoon A beautiful butterfly will emerge and fly It seems that sometimes life has a plan Other times it appears that it does not In the end, when it’s over you’ve got what you’ve got No one ever promised you That life would always be fair That people would be honest Or ever really care Just as from the single acorn A mighty Oak will come to grow so high Or from a pupae in a cocoon A beautiful butterfly will soon emerge and fly We all need to remember That no one gets out alive And that if there is a Heaven That’s where we hope to arrive Please be kind to others On each and every day Follow the Golden Rule For that is Heaven’s way Just as from the single acorn A mighty Oak will grow so high Or from a pupae in a cocoon A beautiful butterfly will emerge and fly
