Origin Song
Started with a bang
Started with the light
And all the minerals
And metals taking flight
Started in the water
Came to the land
Washing up amongst the rocks
And on the sands
Started in the the trees
Carried on the breeze
Came with the pollen
And the birds and the bees
Started with a spear
Started with a fire
Grew from survival to search something higher
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
Started with a song
Started with a word
And with a beating of a drum
And something shared
It started in the mushrooms
Grew on the spores
Began a wonder that was mine and it was yours
Started with a sail
Started with the seeds
Grew to a freedom from
These elemental needs
Started with a symbol
Turn of a wheel
Rode on the back
Of something wild and something free
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
Started with a war
Started down a road
And in the crowns
Of all the kings upon their thrones
Started with a debt
Carried by a slave
Came with a class
That grew its fortune from a chain
Started in a cell
Started on a page
And with the melting of the ice began a wave
Started in the belly
Started with a fight
Began the turning of a
Wheel that drew the strike
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
Started with the light
And all the minerals
And metals taking flight
Started in the water
Came to the land
Washing up amongst the rocks
And on the sands
Started in the the trees
Carried on the breeze
Came with the pollen
And the birds and the bees
Started with a spear
Started with a fire
Grew from survival to search something higher
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
Started with a song
Started with a word
And with a beating of a drum
And something shared
It started in the mushrooms
Grew on the spores
Began a wonder that was mine and it was yours
Started with a sail
Started with the seeds
Grew to a freedom from
These elemental needs
Started with a symbol
Turn of a wheel
Rode on the back
Of something wild and something free
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
Started with a war
Started down a road
And in the crowns
Of all the kings upon their thrones
Started with a debt
Carried by a slave
Came with a class
That grew its fortune from a chain
Started in a cell
Started on a page
And with the melting of the ice began a wave
Started in the belly
Started with a fight
Began the turning of a
Wheel that drew the strike
As seasons will change so will
Empires return to the earth
In blood or in gold as it falls
Will you know what it's worth?
What you're worth
