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!!!

 

Somewhere out there (Derben)

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.

 

The spark of life (Derben/Rasmussen)

( soprano)

Demo/raw recording

Out of the infinite silence and emptiness, flickering flashes and sparkles emerge

Motions explosions of seeds for the universe, spirals and sparks of initiative urge

Sparkles expanding, expanding in millions of planets and galaxies scattered in space

Spinning and glittering planets and stars forming circles and spirals in millions of ways

 

Universe, Universe birth of creation, the beautiful cosmic explosion of love

Pulsating dance in its manifestation, the river of life as a flow from above

Brilliance from billions of stars in the Milky Way, rotating planets surrounding the sun

Multiplication of new constellations, elliptical orbits of Earth have begun!

 

Earthquakes and fire (Derben/Rasmussen)

(Choir)

Demo/raw recording

://: Stormy winds of change are blowing, Earth is taking shape and forms

Earthquakes meeting waters flowing, fireworks and thunderstorms

Face of earth is bursting braking, forming valleys, oceans deep

Elements are raging shaking, building rocks and mountains steep ://:

Present: the EARTH!
