The World of Richard Dawkins is a place where you will find
A scientific plethora to stimulate your mind
Expand your intellectual side leave ignorance behind
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
He came from out of Africa as did we all it seems
His work has made the world aware that we have selfish genes
And thoughts that we hold sacred may turn out to be just memes
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
A meme by definition is a virus of the mind
The Bible is a favorite source for stories of this kind
Which glorify a watchmaker who turns out to be blind
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
A phenotype extended is a novel point of view
It shows us what our genes affect beyond just me and you
The world at large responds to what our DNA can do
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
The river out of Eden flows along the banks of time
It carries information down along unbroken line
It's possible your DNA may someday mix with mine
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
In climbing Mt Improbable your chances may look bleak
Perhaps around the backside is the very thing you seek
A gradual slope that leads you ever onward to the peak
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
Unweaving of the rainbow is no art-destroying crime
The poetry of science speaks of truths that are sublime
Whose elegance we celebrate in music and in rhyme
O tidings of knowledge and truth knowledge and truth
O tidings of knowledge and truth
