The Streets - On the edge of a cliff

really incredible lyrics! listen to it more then once to fully comprehend the deepness of the song...
"For billions of years since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors has survived
Every single person on your mum and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed on to you life.
What are the chances of that, like?"
