original species lyrics

Now my heart and my mind agree
A supernatural selected me
I see a plan so grandiose
My very own Galapagos

God laid down and He began to trace
An image that He could embrace
Then He smiled down on on his plan
And from the dust, He made a man

I'm an original species
More enlightened than Nietzsche
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
'Cause I am loved
By the Maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
Though my body turns to sand
My soul is in His hands

A breakthrough theory of origin
A simple truth that's always been
Fingerprints have been left behind
That point us to a master mind

I'm an original species
More enlightened than Nietzsche
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
I am loved
By the Maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
Though my body turns to sand
My soul is in His hands

Stars in the sky
There to please my eye
The cosmos in His command
He has time to hold my hand

I'm an original species
More enlightened than Nietzsche
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
'Cause I am loved
By the Maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
Though my body turns to sand
My soul is in His hands

I'm an original species
More enlightened than Nietzsche
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
'Cause I am loved
I am loved
