I lay right there once
On the edge of the rock
I was ready to jump

I was ever so lost
But this gentlemen stopped
And said something I never forgot


For billions of years
Since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors survived
Every single person on your mums and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life

What are the chances of that like
It comes to me once in a while
And everywhere i tell folk

It gets the best smile

And then the old man walked away

And out of sight
Till the sound of him hiking
Turned to the sound of silence

I juss froze in a profound surprise
And from down on my pride
I found a smile to my eyes

And for many days again
I would be passing the same cliff
And on many occasions

I would chance on the same thing
Laying in the moss
In the same way I was

Would be another man
Looking like he needed a change of luck
So I'd say I lay right there once

On the edge of the rock
I was ready to jump
I was ever so lost

But this gentlemen stopped
And said something I never forgot


For billions of years
Since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors survived

Every single person on your mums and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
What are the chances of that like

It comes to me once in a while
And every where i tell folk
It gets the best smile


For billions of years
Since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors survived
Every single person on your mums and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life

What are the chances of that like
It comes to me once in a while
And everywhere i tell folk

It gets the best smile
