Hands chip the flint, light the fire, skin the kill
Feet move the tribe track the herd with a will            
Human-kind  struggles, on the edge of history
Time to settle down, time to grow, time to breed   [B7]  

Plow tills the soil, plants the seed, pray for rain         
Scythe reaps the wheat, to the  mill, to grind the grain            
Towns.. and.. cities spread to  empire overnight         
Hands keep building as we chant the ancient rite...            

Coal heats the steam, push the piston, turns the wheel          
Cogs spin the wool, drives the horses made of steel         
Lightning harnessed does our will and lights the dark           
Keep rising higher, set our goal, hit the mark...
