Lyrics for Paleogeographer’s Song by C.R. Scotese
“Sailing away on uncharted seas,
Who knows what we might find.
You needn’t go far to take this trip
’cause the journeys through your mind.
The keys to the future lie locked in the past.
There’s always a question that hasn’t been asked.
So come come along and sail with me,
who knows what we might find.
You needn’t go far to take this trip
’cause the journey’s through your mind.“
