Original Species Lyrics

Now my heart and mind agree
a super natural selected me
I see a plan so grandiose
my very own Galapagos
God laid down and he began to trace
an image that he could embrace
then He smiled down on His plan
and from the dust He made a man

I'm an original species
more enlightened than Nietzshe
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
I am loved
by the maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
though my body turns to sand
my soul is in His hands

A breakthrough theory of origin
a simple truth that's always been
fingerprints have been left behind
that point us to a master mind
Stars in the sky
there to please my eye
the cosmos in His command
but He has time to hold my hand.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is like a parody or something of the book origin of species. (i remember my dad explaining this to me when i was like 10) its like speaking out against evolution and saying "dude just LOOK at us. face it: we came from a plan." its personal. and i love the line when hes like yeah im sure Nietzshe would like to meet me (good rhyme by the way) cuz i am loved. yeah he has something Nneitzshe didnt.
