"Fins of Human Knowledge"
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
ttto: "The Wings of Human Knowledge" by Cat Faber

//: Am - C - / - - G Am ://

Where the Galilean moonlets face the swirling Jovian surface
Dancing out beyond the asteroids where the Sun is pale and dim
We've hit upon the notion that Europa has an ocean
We have taught ourselves to fly, do we remember how to swim?

	/ G - Am - / G - Am E / " / " /

	There are fins of hardened gristle, there are fins of webbed bristle
	There's a fin behind the shape of every polished wooden oar
	But fins of slender sleekness stir the undiscovered deepness
	And the fins of human knowledge swim a sea without a shore

For beneath her glacial armor, we suspect Europa's warmer
And she may conceal an ocean that the Sun has never seen
If there's water deep inside her, melted by the Jovian tide...
Our wings will be no further use here - let us send a submarine

Here on Earth there is a place to put the system through its paces
Hidden deep beneath Antarctica, a lake without a sky
We'll test a new device to drill through miles of solid ice
And a submersible will venture into waters yet untried

We seem to be alone upon our spinning ball of stone
And yet until we go exploring there's no way that we can know
The oceans of our world are where life first of all unfurled
And chill Europa may hold life within the waters deep below
