1. Conceive 

The  Solar System and our Planet begin. 

Can you conceive 

Of a time more than four billion years ago 

Can you conceive 

Of a mass of gas and clouds of dust 

Collapsing 

Contracting 

Can you conceive 

Of a rotating solar nebula 

Can you conceive 

Of a stormy center forming proto-sun 

The sun 

The Sun is born 

A star 

A sun is born a star 

A sun is born a star 

A shining glistening star 

A sun is born a star 

Can you conceive 

Of rocks 

Made of matter cooked in distant stars 

Billions of years ago 

Exploding 

Colliding 

The Earth 

The Earth is born 

A planet 

A planet of rocks 

Quartz is formed. 

Sand and water and air 

Forms so easily 

It grows 

This one's the color of space 

Space is its father 

Black as the night of space 

Night is its mother 

This one's as white as the stars 

Stars are its father 

White as the milk of the stars 

White is its mother 

This one's the yellow of sunlight 

Sunlight its father 

Golden it shines in the sunlight 

Light is its mother 

This one's the color of roses 

This one's the color of roses 

This one's the color of roses 

Before there were roses 

There were rocks 

The color of roses 

2.  Rockaxeon 

Early humans make rock tools. 

Rockaxeon 

Rockaxeon 

Can you hear me 

Calling to you from millions of years ago 

Now you call me Australopithecus 

But  I never cared about this 

I,  I could make things 

Things 

I could make things from rocks 

From Rocks 

I,  I 

Could make things from rocks 

Yeah, from rocks 

I,  I 

Would use them to work for me 

I,  I 

Would carry them with me 

I, I 

Would never let them go, no 

All the ones who bore you 

The ones who came before you 

Are whispering 

Are listening 

Are singing 

All the ones who made you 

Maybe not the same as you 

I know, I know 

The Rose Quartz Ax is created. 

I, I 

Found the most beautiful rock 

The color of blood 

I, I 

Shaped it gently 

So gently 

I, I 

Would have it with me to die 

All of the ones who bore you 

The ones who came before you 

Are whispering 

Are listening 

Are singing 

All the ones who made you 

Maybe not the same as you 

I know, I know

Rockaxeon/Maybe not the same as you I know 

Rockaxeon/I know 

I can take things, create things 

Shape things and make things into something else 

I have eyes,  I  have color 

I turn one thing to another 

Then it's mine, it's mine 

I'm the one who bore you 

The one who came before you 

I'm whispering 

I'm listening 

I'm singing 

I,  I 

I'm singing 

I, I 

Would use them to work for me 

I, I 

Would carry them with me 

I, I 

Would never let them go, no

It's mine 

3. Africa  

Early humans stand upright, walk and migrate.  The Rose Quartz Ax is carried to Europe.  

Great beasts can roam the oceans  

Birds fly to the southern skies  

Fish swim for hundreds of miles upstream  

Never resting, until they die  

Elk cross the Arctic by millions  

Young ones keep up, if they're able  

Homo Erectus is standing alone  

With the stone, in the cradle  

Passed down by long generations  

The rose colored ax filled the table  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

Africa, Africa  

Motherland, Fatherland  

Africa  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

They walk, walk  

They walk and walk  

Wondering woman and man  

They walk, walk  

Carry the rock  

Living wherever they can  

From trees to glades  

From fields to caves  

Faces so high in the air  

Moving just moving  

For thousands of miles  

Adapting everywhere  

Everywhere, everywhere  

Mountains to deserts  

Everywhere  

Moving just moving  

And staying alive  

And thriving everywhere  

Great beasts can roam the ocean  

Birds fly to the southern skies  

Fish swim for hundreds of miles upstream  

Never resting, until they die  

Elk cross the Arctic by millions  

Young ones keep up, if they're able  

Homo Erectus was standing alone  

With the stone, in the cradle  

Passed down by long generations  

The rose colored ax filled the table  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

Africa, Africa  

Motherland, Fatherland  

Africa  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

Walking alone with the sound of my feet  

With this beautiful stone  

I can build, I can sleep  

Walking alone with old blood on my feet  

With this blood colored stone  

I can kill, I can eat  

In twos or threes  

I can live anywhere  

In fours or fives  

I won't freeze  

With eight or ten  

I can travel again  

Free, free  

Great beasts can roam the ocean  

Birds fly to the southern skies  

Fish swim for hundreds of miles upstream  

Never resting, until they die  

Elk cross the Arctic by millions  

Young ones keep up, if they're able  

Homo Erectus is standing alone  

With the stone, in the cradle  

Passed down by long generations  

The rose colored ax filled the table  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

Africa, Africa  

Motherland, Fatherland  

Africa  

Heidelbergensis brought the stone to The North  

From the cradle: Africa  

They walk, walk  

They walk, walk  

Wondering woman and man  

They walk, walk  

Carry the rock

Early humans perform a ritual burial, honoring their dead with the Rose Quartz Ax and longing for a life beyond.  

We were together  

And now you're gone  

Always together  

I don't know how to go on  

This beautiful stone  

From ages ago  

I send it with you  

Take it wherever you go  

To all those before us  

From all those behind  

We're here in the center  

The Center of Time  

Like those gone before you  

And those left behind  

We're here in the center

5. Atapuerca  

The remains of twenty eight early humans are discovered along with The Rose Quartz Ax. 

In Nineteen Ninety Eight  

The remains of twenty-eight  

Homo Heidelbergensis, our ancestors  

Were found, in the ground  

In a pit, no shit  

In the hills of Northern Spain  

Where the rain stays on the plain  

By Juan Luis Arsuaga  

In this archeological saga  

And he said that the dead  

Might have been buried there on purpose  

All alone, with the stone  

A shiny pink stone  

Thrown in with the b-b-b-b-  

Bones  

The Pit of Bones  

Now this funeral took place  

In this underground space  

350,000 years ago  

A very huge wow  

Three hundred fifty thou  

And buried with them there  

Was a Rose Quartz Ax  

Which could have meant they cared  

A guess, more or less  

But baby if they did  

It blows the flippin' lid  

Off all the freakin' facts  

Fee, fie  

Atapuerca  

Sima de los Huesos  

Atapuerca  

Pit of Bones  

Push back the time  

We first cared about each other  

Push back the time  

We learned that was how we get along  

The time when we began to live together  

Push back the time  

We dreamed we might go on and on  

On and on  

Atapuerca/ Push back the time  

Sima de los Huesos/We first cared about each other  

Atapuerca/Push back the time  

Pit of Bones/We learned that was how we get along  

Atapuerca/The time when we began to live  

Sima de los Huesos/Together  

Atapuerca/Push back the time  

Pit of Bones/We dreamed we might go on  

And on  

Sima de los Huesos  

Pit of Bones  

Thoughts of life beyond all limits  

Different lands and grander places  

In an instant we begin it  

Past the edge to endless spaces  

Sima de los Huesos  

Pit of Bones  

What's it take to think outside the box  

To run on different clocks  

And know that it's ok, hey  

What's it take to try to change again  

And see beyond the end  

To find another way  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time, takes time  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time, takes time  

So give it all a break  

It takes what it will take  

Some things can't be forced to mutate  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time, takes time  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time, takes time  

Atapuerca, what you have you to say  

Eight billion of your children  

Walk the Earth today  

Clawing, starving  

Hiding from each other  

Lonely in the billions  

Who cares about another  

Atapuerca, what you gonna say  

To billions of your children  

It might not matter anyway  

Screwing, screaming  

Stealing from each other  

Desperate by the billions  

Who cares about another  

Atapuerca, Sima de los Huesos  

Atapuerca, what will be left of us  

Taking, raping, ravaging the planet  

There'll soon be nothing left  

But a pit of bones  

Atapuerca  

Sima de los Huesos  

Atapuerca  

Push back the time  

We first cared about each other  

Push back the time  

We learned that was how we get along  

The time when we began to live  

Push back the time  

We dreamed we might go on and on  

6.  Evolution of the Mind  

Future humans leave Earth 

What's it take to think outside the box  

To run on different clocks  

And know that it's ok, hey  

Living on a thousand years or more  

Not having any war  

And find another way  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time  

And there's future there  

For ones who learn to care  

Some things can be forced to mutate  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time  

Evolution of the mind  

Takes time  

Only one kind of treasure  

Unearthed in millions of graves  

Only one kind of treasure  

There is no other way  

Compassion  

Compassion  

Compassion  

And we uncovered our future  

As we uncovered our past  

Only one kind of treasure  

Only one that will last  

Compassion  

Compassion  

Compassion  

Na na na na  

Na na na na  

Tell your story  

I am with you there  

Share your glory  

I care  

We're in this together  

And still one by one  

Always together  

And now we move on  

This beautiful stone  

From ages ago  

We carry it with us  

Take it wherever we go  

The new world's before us  

The old world's behind  

We're here in the center  

The Center of Time  

Like those gone before us  

And those left behind  

We're here in the center  

The Center of Time  

Now we take the red stone with us  

As this Earth turns to dust, yeah  

In the coming amazing red giant  

Let it's memory remind us, yeah  

Rockaxeon  

Rockaxeon  

Rockaxeon  

Rockaxeon  

Push back the time  

We first cared about each other  

Push back the time  

We learned that was how we get along  

The time when we began to live together  

Push back the time  

We dreamed we might go on and on  

Beyond all limits  

Different lands and grander places  

In an instant we begin it  

Past the edge to endless spaces  

7.  Choose  

Our solar system ends.  

So many dire predictions  

Too many apocalyptic visions  

What if all of us together  

Choose the future  

There is no path  

That we will find  

But the ones that stretch  

Out behind  

There is no path  

That I can see  

But an open field  

Of possibility  

There is no path  

There is no path  

No deity  

Wielding angry wrath  

There is no path  

There is no path  

But the choice we make  

And the aftermath  

What about this  

What if we learn to  

Take it in our hands  

All the people all the lands  

Together  

What about this  

What if we use all the greatest human minds  

Out of all of human time  

Together  

And what about this  

All that we got loose  

We could have anything  

Anything we choose  

We choose  

We choose  

We choose  

We choose  

There is no path  

That I can see  

But an open field  

Of possibility  

There is no path  

There is no path  

But the choice we make  

And the aftermath  

We choose  

We choose  

We choose  

We choose  

Can you tell your story  

How the Earth was formed  

Can you tell the history  

Of all the ones you've known  

Can you spend three hundred thousand  

Years under the ground  

Can you tell your secrets to us  

When at last you're found  

And can we find compassion  

Can we find our hearts  

Can we find the life we've always dreamed  

Here among the stars  

We might change the faces  

We might travel far  

But even here on Earth  

We're still among the stars  

But can we find direction  

Out beyond the dark  

Can we be the kind of Homo Sapiens we are  

And can we find compassion  

Can we find our hearts  

Can we find the life we've always dreamed  

Here among the stars  

Here among the stars/We choose, we choose  

Here among the stars/We choose, we choose  

Can you conceive  

Of a time more than four billion years from now  

Can you conceive  

The expanding sun  

A giant  

Red giant  

Can you conceive  

Of a planetary nebula  

Can you conceive  

A white dwarf sun of diamond  

A diamond  

The sun will end its life  

A diamond  

A sun will end its life  

A diamond  

Can you conceive  

Of rocks  

Made of matter cooked in distant stars  

Billions of years ago  

Exploding  

Colliding  

The Earth  

The Earth is born  

A planet  

The Earth is born  

A planet  

Born  

Of rocks  

A planet of rocks
