about

This foot-tapping song wonders, contrary to Darwin’s theory, if we’ve really evolved enough, especially emotionally. (“Mr. Darwin, what’s up with this life?”), and points out that we humans “seem to be stuck, in an undeveloped stage. Kind of like some teens who haven’t found their place.” “Mr Darwin, will we be the fittest here? Oh Darwin have we grown too much fear?” A simple & yet interesting pondering.

lyrics

Mr. Darwin by Sharon Coates


Mr. Darwin
what’s up with this life?
Oh Darwin
will we learn to survive?


Mr. Darwin
do we need a will to live?
Oh Darwin
what do we have to give?


We seem to be stuck
in an undeveloped stage
Kind of like some teen
who hasn’t found their place
Mr Darwin


Mr Darwin will we be the fittest here?

Oh Darwin have we grown too much fear? ------


Mr Darwin
can we reach a better phase?
will we turn another page?
Oh Darwin

The giraffe has grown his neck
and the bird has found his song
What do we all need to finally move along?
Mr Darwin

Mr. Darwin
can we gain another sense?
Oh Darwin
might be our last defense…
