YOUNITY - SONGS & LYRICS (Excerpt)
Please note that the recordings are only demos.
Prologue (Derben/Rasmussen)
( soprano/tenor)
Demo/raw recording
Ever since the beginning of time, we have been searching for the meaning of life
Ever since the beginning of time we might feel lonely sometimes like a sailor’s wife
We have suffered in pain; we have lived in love and joy
We have lived to sustain, to create and to destroy
We have built the Taj Mahal but still we do not know the very core of life...
Ever since the beginning of time we’ve had to struggle each day to get by
Ever since the beginning of time we have admired the flight of the butterfly
We have conquered the land of cannibals and kings
We have learned to expand on artificial wings
We have landed on the moon but still we do not know the very wing of life...
Let us see if we can find the thread of human mystery
It has been so deeply hidden, it is very hard to see
Let us see if we can find a place where meaning fell apart
Come with me; let’s take a journey right back to the very start
Ever since the beginning of time we have dissected the flesh and the mind
Ever since the beginning of time we have been looking to learn, but are just as blind
We have studied the brain to know the human race
We have struggled in vain to unveil the human face
We have transplanted the heart but still we do not know the very heart of life - of life.
Somewhere out there (Derben/Rasmussen)
Complete recording.
Somewhere out there – far beyond all that we know
There must be something to relieve these feelings of pain and longing (and)
Somewhere out there – far beyond what’s high and low
There must be something to resolve the problems of good and evil In everyone
When we feel all the colours’ gone
Must be something beyond all the words Of opposites and double feelings
(and)
Somewhere out there – far beyond all that we see
There must be something to explain this world of such boundless beauty (and)
Somewhere out there - far beyond this mystery
There must be something like a higher purpose for each and everything Everywhere
Do you see with what loving care
Every detail is made
Every flower and hour is precious and special Listen to a bird
The most charming you ́ve ever heard
There is magic in all
From somewhere comes a call to the highest - in us In us.
( soprano/tenor or baritone)
Let there be light! (Derben)
( soprano/tenor or baritone)
Complete recording.
(He) Oh, what a morning when daylight came
On the very first morning on the young earth!
When nature’s war ceased and the elements found peace;
The darkness faded, softly, at the fathers command: Let there be light!
(She) And my soul was delighted, I was longing for more
Longing to touch, longing for more
Wanted to feel the dew on my feet,
Lie down by a river, listening to its sound.
Hear the Fathers command: Let there be light!
(He) I made a decision – I chose my path
My spirit was grounded, bound to the earth.
I’m searching and asking, exploring the worlds
With its millions of stars (both):created
At the Fathers command: Let there be light!
(She) Hear the birds in the trees, watch the animals run.
An infinity of beings under the sun!
The four winds are blowing over forests and hills
Like a heavenly procession clouds are passing by
Hear the Fathers command: Let there be light!
(Both) Oh, what a morning when daylight came! Hear the fathers command:
Let there be light! LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!
