Fossil Story

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mountains rose and oceans shifted, Seas were deep and lands were new, Changing shapes where life existed, Writing history deep in view. Seashells high on mountain ledges, Tropical plants where ice now lies, Earth has moved through many ages, Hidden in the rocks it hides. [Pre-Chorus] Every layer tells a motion, Climate changed and species grew, Earth itself is always moving, Leaving clues for me and you. [Chorus] Fossil story, stone by stone, See how life and land have grown, Past is written, plain to see, Earth keeps changing endlessly. Fossil story, dig and find, Ancient worlds are close behind, Read the rocks and you will know How our living planet grows. [Verse 2] Tiny footprints pressed in mud, Leaves preserved beneath the clay, Bones that rested in the ground Tell us who once passed this way. Layers stack like pages turning, Older ones lie down below, Scientists compare the clues To learn how ancient climates flow. [Pre-Chorus] Every layer tells a motion, Climate changed and species grew, Earth itself is always moving, Leaving clues for me and you. [Chorus] Fossil story, stone by stone, See how life and land have grown, Past is written, plain to see, Earth keeps changing endlessly. Fossil story, dig and find, Ancient worlds are close behind, Read the rocks and you will know How our living planet grows. [Bridge] A shell can show a vanished sea, A fern can mark a warmer day, A fossil is a clue from time, A little piece that helps explain. [Final Chorus] Fossil story, stone by stone, See how life and land have grown, Past is written, plain to see, Earth keeps changing endlessly. Fossil story, dig and find, Ancient worlds are close behind, Read the rocks and you will know How our living planet grows. [Outro] Stone by stone, the clues remain, Earth keeps writing through the ages.
