Melodysheep - Children of Africa: The Story of Us lyrics

Man is a singular creature
He has a set of gifts which
Make him unique among the animals
So that unlike them
He is not a figure in the landscape
He is the shaper of the landscape

We are all children of Africa
They say this is where it all began

In a parched African landscape
Man first put his foot to the ground

Africa was our only home
For tens of thousands of years
Until a small handful of
People made their way out of Africa

These beings with soaring imagination
Eventually flung themselves and
Thеir machines into interplanetary spacе

We are all children of africa
This landscape has been home to humans
Two hundred thousand years

We have come so far
All of this is cause for great celebration
We have come so far this is a story about us

Those early Europeans
Were people like you and me
But it is humbling
When you see the challenges they faced
People like you and me
Overcame the Neaderthals
People like you and me
Made it through the ice age

We are not the only beings
With personalities, minds, and feelings
Chimpanzees have very clear personalities

Take a chimp brain foetally
And let it go two or
Three more rounds of division
And out comes symphonies and ideology

Everything that we are
That distinguishes us from chimps
Emerges from that one percent
Difference in DNA

People like you and me
Overcame the Neaderthals
People like you and me
Made it through the ice age

Using his burgeoning intelligence
This most successful of all mammals
Has exploited the environment to produce food
For an ever increasing population

Instead of controlling the environment
For the benefit of the population
Perhaps it's time we
Controlled the population
To allow the survival of the environment
