Lyrics
SO DO I VIE
Not every eager arrow
Let loose makes mark
Most tumble sadly downward
Some close but off
So do I vie for you, my love
So do I vie for you, my love
We living are the winners
First sperm to egg
A contest many entered
One swam home best
So do I vie for you, my love
So do I vie for you, my love
To make our planet pregnant
Stars fall to Earth
Few touch the terra firma
Most die in flame
So do I vie for you, my love
So do I vie for you, my love
