Nothing became something Turned itself inside out Subatomic particles became atoms, became stars, became galaxies The earth's crust became solidified The planets became perfectly aligned Jupiter blinked with its little red eye Oxygen replaced methane A party started in the ocean Trilobites and crustaceans A Cambrian explosion A conga line headed up on land Out of the water and into the frying pan A layer of iridium paved the way For furry mammals with big, beautiful brains The Congo River divided the chimpanzees The peaceful bonobos from the ones like you and me As soon we stood up, picked an apple from a tree Someone pointed a finger, said, "That apple belongs to me" And people fought and loved and died And everywhere babies opened their eyes And had their hearts broken, laughed, and cried Watched the planets slowly collide And one day I asked if I could borrow your bass guitar Not that I needed one But I didn't know where to start One magic night in an empty backyard You grabbed my arm and kissed me quick Under a heaven full of stars And that's the story of how we met The long version And you can call it fate or chance But we made it happen We made it happen, we made it happen
