Moon Walk

Dory Previn

It has been said


that a rock might have been the very first weapon.


Not a broken branch


or a sharpened bone.


But a rock, a rock


a rock alone.


This is not deffinately know, for I believe


that a rock might have been the very first gift.


Not a flower, or a tiger tooth,


But a rock, a rock, a rock in truth


A weapon or a gift


an enemy or friend.


How the world begins


is how the world will end


The world will end...





Was there some ancient astronaught


who landed on this earth?


Did he thank this beautiful blue planet


did he let her know her worth?


And did some ancient embryo


watch what the astronaught did?


'Cause the way you treat the old lady


is the lesson, the lesson,


the lesson that you teach the kid


And did that ancient astronaught


just before the lift


grab a souvenir like a weapon?


Or did he recieve it, recieve it,


accept it as a gift?





It has been said


that a rock might have been the very first weapon.


Not a broken branch, a broken branch


or a sharpened bone,


But a rock, a rock


An weapon or a gift,


an enemy a friend


How the world begins


is how the world will end


The world will end...
