Planets And Animals

from Planets and Animals by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

Hundreds of light-years in circumference
vast clouds containing building-blocks of life
where new planets and stars eventuate
and the ancient ones are evolving still.
There must be a lot.

Planets are not so rare is it was once imagined,
they're very common.
And the whole Universe is saturated with
the stuff needed for organic life.
Giant clouds of these molecules
are commonplace throughout space.

These clouds are all blasted continuously
by the emanations of stars, cooking up
all sorts of interesting chemical reactions
some of which may lead to materials
which begin to behave like life.

In gigantic clouds where stars and planets are formed
and primordial ice frozen into comets and asteroids
which may fall upon the surfaces of
any nearby planet and start to react
with what's already there
and if conditions are right may
spawn some kind of life.
