Intro
With the N.A.S.A. team, we will take you bodly where no man has ever gone before.
We will take you back some fifteen billion years to the beginning of time.
Verse Chali 2na
Yo! From a drop of blood to bones and body parts
To vital organs form and your brain and tiny heart
Your fetus, date of birth, til puberty finally starts
Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots
It was devine decree that begun the plan
But its disease by the greed of the sons of man
Who try to lead with their guns in hand
Understand Gods the one that command…
Pre-chorus David Byrne
Did we climb out of the sea?
Where did we come from you and me?
Two legs to walk and eyes to see
Am I the man I want to be?
Chorus David Byrne, The Crack Alley Childrens Choir Gift of Gab
People grow in my back yard
In my garden, in my heart
Pink and purple, red and blue
On this sunny afternoon
Verse Gift of Gab
Back before time was time and space was space
The ever present I divine so laced with grace
Decided it was time to try to chase the taste
To what it was designed, now life is taking place
Within it self-divided, now it takes some space
They cant be fathomed by a mind creates the state
Of ego now whats is mine, is mine, ok now hate
Well reign until the blind have eyes and they awaken…
Pre-chorus David Byrne
Planting the seeds in the ground
How is my garden growing now?
A tender kiss, a little smile
The way a mother holds her child
Chorus David Byrne, The Crack Alley Childrens Choir Chali 2na
Tasty little human beings
I grow them on the people tree
I will eat them one by one
If theres enough for everyone
Bridge GIft of Gab and Chali 2na
Oh, unending ever flowing life beyond the birth
Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth
Mainly we created the planet as mans habitat
Be fruitful and multiply across the planets back
But why does hate exist, the war and AIDS and shit?
It were to be fruitful, why cant poor people pay they rent?
Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined
Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin
Why do we die?
So you can live
Why do we strive?
So you can win
But why do you defy every truthful word I recommend?
My question back is Why do you recommend then throw temptation in?
So I can test you patience and tolerance in the face of sin
But why a test when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
For you to bear witness to imperfections of mortal man
So its a lesson?
And a blessing journey back to where youve been
Cause before the tree can flourish, seeds must first be planted in!
Chorus David Byrne, The Crack Alley Childrens Choir Gift of Gab
People grow in my back yard
In my garden, in my heart
If you like my garden, you might like me
Underneath the people tree
