Intro: BAEABEB
From the water
AE
From the rock and the dirt, you were
ABE
The first person on earth
B
Oh the mountains
AE
And the oceans witnessed your birth
ABE
The first person on earth
B
By a river, on the banks of a sandy shore
AE
Untouched, clean, fresh and pure
ABE
The first person on earth
B
In the light of the sun you emerged
AE
To see the good in the world before the pain and the scourge
ABE
The first person on earth
B
In the quiet, in the calm, before the storm
AE
You heard the dream for a love that never dies in a poem
ABE
The first person on earth
B
And I'm in love with you, I'm in love with a dream
AE
That can not be realized, held or seen
ABE
By the last person on earth
B
After the earthquakes, the hurricanes, the fires and floods
AE
I'm jaded, cynical, angry and glum
B
The world's too absurd and obscene for true love
AE
And more than happy to let me become
ABE
The last person on earth
B
To let me stand on a rock, the muddy waters surround
AE
Abandoned, alone, the end soon to come
ABE
As the last person on earth
B
As the waters rise at the end of the world
AE
Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt
B
I know I'm worthy of your love
AE
As the last person on earth
B
As the waters rise at the end of the world
AE
Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt
B
I know I'm worthy of your love
AE
As the last person on earth
