Lucidity - Intellectual

[Instrumental]

I heard a great story once to get across the point that the Earth really is alive

If you were to interview a butterfly standing on the branch of a sequoia tree

Now, a butterfly lives only for a few days, and a sequoia tree can live for over a thousand years

If you were to ask the butterfly, "Do you perceive the object on which you're standing as bein' alive?"

The butterfly would say, "Of course not. I've been here all my life,"

Which is all five days, "and the tree hasn't done a thing"

Well, it's the same problem with the human being

If you were to ask a person, perhaps one that's lived for over a hundred years

They perceive the Earth, which is really five billion years old, as bein' alive

They'd say, "Of course not. I've been here my whole life, and it hasn't done a thing"

The Earth really is alive

Standing on the branch of a sequoia tree

The Earth really is alive
