Let There Be Lyrics > Children Of Eden

STORYTELLERS
In the beginning...

In the begininng,
God created the Heaven and Earth
Without form--void--darkness.
And God said:

FATHER
Let there be!

STORYTELLERS
Light!

FATHER
I woke up from a curious dream
I dreamed a perfect garden
And there were whirling shapes
And swirling sounds
And I wasn't lonely anymore

I woke up from a wonderful dream
Woke, full of energy and hunger
And now this hunger will be stilled
And my emptiness be filled
As I set about to build
My dream

Let there be, let there be
Morning
Let there be
Evening, day
Let there be

Let there be

STORYTELLERS
Let there be

FATHER
Waters, weathers, winters, wonders

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Let there be
Land and

FATHER
Speeding comets with hearts of ice!
Spinning planets with rings of fire!

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Cosmic sparks
And quasars and quarks
And suns convulsing
Pulsars pulsing

STORYTELLERS
Let there be

FATHER
Let there be

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Let there be

FATHER
Whales!
Snails!
Sharks!
Larks!
Apples trees with dappled barks!
And granite mountains and flaxen plains
Giant lizards with tiny brains
Flourescent fish and crescent worms
And a million bugs and trillion germs

STORYTELLERS
Let there be

FATHER
Let there be

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Let there be
(And God saw, it was good, it was good)
Let there be, let there be

FATHER
It's not enough! It's still not enough.
There was something more in my dream
Something could see it and share it
What was it, though?
I only know
I wasn't lonely anymore

There is one more thing to build
One more void that must be filled
I'll make creatures I'll call children
Shaped like me!

FATHER AND STORYTELLERS
Let there be, let there be

FATHER
Something, someone
Small and skinny
Clawless, furless
Finless, fangless

FATHER AND STORYTELLERS
Let there be
Man who can

FATHER
Wander over my flaxen plains
Wonder up at my granite mountains
Count the stars and wish for wings
And hold a tool and think of things
And search for answers he cannot see

STORYTELLERS
And dream of glory

FATHER
And worship me!

STORYTELLERS
Let there be

FATHER
Let there be

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Let there be
(And God saw, it was good, it was good)

FATHER
Let there be

STORYTELLERS
Let there be

FATHER AND STORYTELLERS
Let there be

STORYTELLERS (AND FATHER)
And the father breathed into his children the breath of life (let...)
And the children became living souls (there...)
And the father gave to his children a garden
And called the garden...Eden (be...)

STORYTELLERS AND FATHER
Let there be!
