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