At first you kindle life, you place it in a man

This man, he has a heart, that's filled with fire

The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home

A G

They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear

Bm D

The man creates a wall, he arms, defends them all

This fear becomes his fall

Delivers necessary substances such as

Nutrients and oxygen to the cells and

Transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells."

He knows the fur, he used to love her...
