Every breath we take from the airTakes oxygen from an insects lungs mid-prayerAnd every exhalation does loudly declareThat in the currency of life, were millionaires.A butterfly flapped its wings and Rome fellA passerbys whistle cracked the liberty bellAnd I dare urge the daring not to yellLest we so bid a skyscraper a rough farewell.A snakes tongue slithered and man did sinLet me tell you how the waves from a sharks finDid set the tides on D-Day and let the allies win;Chance and destiny are identical twins.A word was spoken and the earth createdAnother phrase and the future was dictatedAnd so every action must be carefully weightedWe just never know how things are interrelated.
