Vertebrates     Music and Lyric - James Katz(1993)

feet on the ground so far 
you can feel your blood like water falling
past the day and through the years to ground
to form the sweat and tears of 
vertebrates like you who snatch the stars up
for their candle light
like bangles on your vanity

reflecting the light
on your very important night
tonight is your very important night

so next time you feel that your night is so important
to the life you live and that of those around you
just look up at the sky 
and see the star that's light has burned out long before
our kind ever learned to crawl
and it's beaming it's story out in all directions
beaming it on down for countless generation s to come
and for us to find on our own time

in the light on your very important night
tonight is your very important night

for vertebrates like you and me......
