Let There Be

In the beginning
In the begininng
God created the Heaven and Earth
Without form--void--darkness
And God said
Let there be!
Light!

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
Let there be
Waters, weathers, winters, wonders
Let there be
Land and.

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

Cosmic sparks
And quasars and quarks
And suns convulsing
Pulsars pulsing
Let there be
Let there be
Let there be.

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
Let there be
Let there be
Let there be
(And God saw, it was good, it was good)
Let there be, let there be.

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!
Let there be, let there be.

Something, someone
Small and skinny
Clawless, furless
Finless, fangless
Let there be
Man who can.

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.

And dream of glory
And worship me!
Let there be
Let there be
Let there be
(And God saw, it was good, it was good)
Let there be
Let there be
Let there be.

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...)

Let there be!
