The Greatest Story Ever Told
an orchestrated pairing upof friends of friendsone bearing up, the other sober for a changelaying low and acting strangeshe wiggles by to catch an eyehe gets her name wrong, says goodbyeand soon love will thrivethere follows all the ups and downstheir laughters, tears, and smiles and frownsof love and its attendant woesjust as every romance goesperhaps we bore a little moremortality jumps to the forebut we all survivesomewhere unseen and deep insidethe lucky sperm and egg collidethe zygote's little cells dividethe morula goes for a ridethis tiny tryst makes blastocystand soon the mind and heart existand soon you arrivewithout us, the world will still turnand the sun still will burnSongtextethe faithful moon will wax and waneand still it will rainbut who needs a world to impresswhen there's love to confess?and so begins our dynastya new family treeand plenty of people will try and tell you where we came from. but we can only ever know what we can see. so tonight, look up to the sky. there's at least a hundred billion galaxies with a hundred billion stars and every single one could be a sun just like ours. you see, we're all just links in a chain and all life is finite. so use your time wisely, look after your teeth, and try not to hurt anyone. and remember: we invented love. and that's the greatest story ever told.
