Intro :

From the w ater

From the r ock and the dirt, you were

The f irst person o n earth

Oh the m ountains

And the oceans witnessed your birth

The f irst person o n earth

By a r iver, on the banks of a sandy shore

Unt ouched, clean, f resh and pure

The f irst person o n earth

In the l ight of the sun you emerged

To see the g ood in the world before the pain and the scourge

The f irst person o n earth

In the qu iet, in the calm, before the storm

You heard the dr eam for a love that never dies in a poem

The f irst person o n earth

And I'm in l ove with you, I'm in love with a dream

That c an not be realized, held or seen

By the l ast person o n earth

After the earthquakes, the hurricanes, the fires and floods

I'm j aded, cynical, angry and glum

The w orld's too absurd and obscene for true love

And more than happy to let me become

The l ast p erson on earth

To let me st and on a rock, the muddy waters surround

Ab andoned, alone, the end soon to come

As the l ast person o n earth

As the w aters rise at the end of the world

Thought I b ear the weight of the rock and the dirt

I kn ow I'm worthy of your love

As the l ast person on earth

As the w aters rise at the end of the world

Thought I b ear the weight of the rock and the dirt

I kn ow I'm worthy of your love

As the l ast person on earth
