N.A.S.A. - The People Tree lyrics

Intro With the N.A.S.A. team, we will take you bodly where no man has ever gone before. We will take you back some fifteen billion years to the beginning of time. Verse (Chali 2na) Yo! From a drop of blood to bones and body parts To vital organs form and your brain and tiny heart Your fetus, date of birth, til puberty finally starts Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots It was devine decree that begun the plan But it's disease by the greed of the sons of man Who try to lead with their guns in hand Understand God's the one that command... Pre-chorus (David Byrne) Did we climb out of the sea? Where did we come from you and me? Two legs to walk and eyes to see Am I the man I want to be? Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Gift of Gab) People grow in my back yard In my garden, in my heart Pink and purple, red and blue On this sunny afternoon Verse (Gift of Gab) Back before time was time and space was space The ever present I divine so laced with grace Decided it was time to try to chase the taste To what it was designed, now life is taking place Within it' self-divided, now it takes some space They can't be fathomed by a mind creates the state Of ego now what's is mine, is mine, ok now hate We'll reign until the blind have eyes and they awaken... Pre-chorus (David Byrne) Planting the seeds in the ground How is my garden growing now? A tender kiss, a little smile The way a mother holds her child Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Chali 2na) Tasty little human beings I grow them on the people tree I will eat them one by one If there's enough for everyone Bridge (GIft of Gab and Chali 2na) Oh, unending ever flowing life beyond the birth Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth Mainly we created the planet as man's habitat Be fruitful and multiply across the planet's back But why does hate exist, the war and AIDS and sh**? It we're to be fruitful, why can't poor people pay they rent? Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin Why do we die? So you can live Why do we strive? So you can win But why do you defy every truthful word I recommend? My question back is: Why do you recommend then throw temptation in? So I can test you patience and tolerance in the face of sin But why a test when you hold all the answers to the state we in? For you to bear witness to imperfections of mortal man So it's a lesson? And a blessing journey back to where you've been Cause before the tree can flourish, seeds must first be planted in! Chorus (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Gift of Gab) People grow in my back yard In my garden, in my heart If you like my garden, you might like me Underneath the people tree Outro Getting closer to God! Getting closer to God! Call upon your God! Closer to God! He'll answer your question! Closer to God! God said I trust you! Behold! Who are you? I'm God muthaf**a and I'm not who you thought I was! They better be giving me all the respect All y'all, all y'all, all y'all, all y'all check yo self! Cause I'm God! Hello hello hello hello Feel me, feel me, feel me all you
