One small little shell upon a beach
In amongst all there that be ~
But still there in all its natural glory
Washed up by its mother the sea~
This tiny shell would not really raise an eyebrow
As it lay there among all the rest that be~
But it does play an important part in life
In all natural things in life land and sea~
How this little shell would never cry out
That it's as if the only one that is there~
It'd not say it's the only one of inteligent form
And that it alone was beyond compare~
Behind all of the planets and stars that we know
In our to date massive on going space backyard~
To even feel we are the only ones in existence
Is for me to swallow slightly hard~
It's like some say that they know God
If we know all about him than he is not so great~
As I feel he would be beyond earthly comprehention
To really know him weve not scratched the slate~
There is out there so much unknown to us
Planets and life forms we've not yet found~
Its basic common sense within my mind
We have not even begin to cover such ground~
But I do believe that God and outer space
Both of which we know not everything as we say-
Would expect us to first tidy up our own backyard
Before searching further on the day~
If earth was a vastest property
And God left us in charge to care and maintain~
And he came back to inspect our efforts
We would be out of a job and out in the rain~
We on earth are as but that little shell
Upon lifes beach but we so need to know~
That we are getting too far ahead of ourselves
And we need to go back a century or so~
For ages money on earth has became God
And too few ever stop to think~
That out there is one great rock
That could pull us all up in a wink~
God as we think we know him would be so greater
Beyond our minds comprehention it's true~
And being so he would be rather disappointed in
So very much on earth of what we do~
Time to go back and get real for a change
Show we have love and care and integritty too~
That we are capable of undoing some as they call progress
And act more like the good samaritan to more than a few~
Spend way more of those large dollar amounts
On getting earth back to where it once used to be~
With babbling clean water brooks and air so fresh
And still way more many a forest of tree~
We on earth should take a leaf I feel it's true
From that little shell on the beach doing it's thing~
Only proffessing to be just what it actually is
And maybe the entire earth just one song might sing~
