Endless Forms Most Beautiful (Alternative Version)

Written by：Tuomas Holopainen

Come on hop on let's take a ride

Come and meet the travelers who came to town

They have a tale from the past to tell

From the great dark between the stars

We are a special speck of dust

A fleeting moment on an ark

A celebration a resthaven

Of life

Lay on a field of green

With mother eve

With father pine reaching high

Look at yourself in the eyes of aye aye

Unfolding rendezvous

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive aware in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark

Of endless forms most beautiful

Beyond aeons we take a ride

Welcoming the shrew that survived

To see the tiktaalik take her first walk

Witness the birth of flight

Deeper down in panthalassa

A eukaryote finds her way

We return to the very first one

Greet the one we'll soon become

Lay on a field of green

With mother eve

With father pine reaching high

Look at yourself in the eyes of aye aye

Unfolding rendezvous

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive aware in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark

Of endless forms most beautiful

Deep into the past

Follow the aeon path

Greet a blade of grass

Every endless form most beautiful

Alive aware in awe

Before the grandeur of it all

Our floating pale blue ark

Of endless forms most beautiful
