How could one species turn into another? How is it that we find ourselves surrounded by such complexity, such elegance? The genes of you and me They're all made of DNA We're all made of the same chemicals DNA - we're all made of DNA Only the fittest survive And that is the key Natural Selection That is the key We are surrounded by endless forms Most beautiful, most wonderful Evolution - the greatest show on Earth There is grandeur in this view of life Evolution - the greatest show on Earth The history of life can be thought of As a many branched tree The five kingdoms of life were established early on Bacteria Protists- amoeba like creatures Fungi,Plants And animals We find ourselves perched on one tiny twig In the midst of a blossoming tree of life We find ourselves perched on one tiny twig In the midst of a blossoming tree of life Only the fittest survive And that is the key Natural Selection That is the key We are surrounded by endless forms Most beautiful most wonderful Evolution - the greatest show on Earth There is grandeur in this view of life Most beautiful most wonderful Evolution - the greatest show on Earth We are surrounded by millions of other species Walking, flying, burrowing, stalking, chasing, fleeing, Outpacing Animals strive to reach this one ultimate goal To ensure the survival of the next generation This one ultimate goal To pass on their genes That is what life is all about That is surrounded by endless forms Most beautiful, most wonderful Evolution - the greatest show on Earth As we look back on the history of life We see a picture of never ending,ever rejuvinating novelty Those animals may seem to us to be very remote strange, even fantastic But all of us alive today Owe our very existence to them
