Lyrics
I heard a fellow saying we were molecules,
he told me that he got from a book at school, and long ago he said we crawled up on a beach, and set us up a classroom and began
to teach.
How we climbed the Himalayas
from Gallapagos ; developed
enough fingers, we could count our toes,
then we started in making up and breaking rules,
spinning and bumping like the Molecules.
Another lady told me it was crystal clear,
that everything's a dream and we ain't even here,
To her it didn't matter, nothings right or wrong,
When it's over, man it's over, we're already gone.
Then she asked me why I bothered standing up to dance, as if to say this morning didn't stand a chance, when at any given moment we'd just disappear, and she was staring at the ground like it was crystal clear.
Chorus
But there's nothing evolving involving mercy,
it's more than just a dream concerning love,
there's nothing like water when you're thirsty, ther's nothing like love.
A friend of mine was saying
I was really lost.
that I oughta take the time and
try to count the cost,
when I thought about it
I knew what He said was true, so I asked Him if there was anything that I could do.
At the answer he gave me
I broke down and cried, He said,
believe I did it all when I was crucified,
and I rose up from the dead so you
could come to me.
Then He smiled and said He loved me
and He set me free.
There' nothing evolving involving mercy,
it's more than just a dream concerening love.
There's nothing like water when your thirsty.
There's nothing like love,
