Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
A diamond in progress with the right pressure
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul
Earth, wind & fire have played out their natural role
When cloudy frost is gone the ice is clear, for sure,
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
For all we know precious jewels are at the pole
Where there is a mindful heart filled creature
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul
With such dim light, it would be like a hole
where no eyes receive surprises of such pleasure
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
With no life or a fossil fuel to burn for a glow
Each ray of light is a treasure to a creature
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul
Footprints far from the giving sun which makes us whole
Could be the doom of mankind with all its allure
Carbon is the base of organic life and coal
that when it cools is left with a sub zero soul
