Genesis (In the Beginning) Don McLean

[Verse 1]
In the beginning there was nothingness, and God but waved his hand
And from the endless void there sprang the beauty of the land
And high above the canyon walls the diamond stars were new
And breezes blew from nothingness, and herbs and grasses grew
And silent creatures roamed the Earth and multiplied their kind
And man was but a molecule that God had left behind

[Chorus]
We have grown, we have grown, we have captured the throne
Of the kingdom God made for our winning
We have grown, we have grown, but our children alone
Have so little time left for beginning

[Verse 2]
And mountains sprang, and chaos rang the overture of life
And rivers coursed the twisted blade of nature's sharpest knife
And cut beneath the rolling dales a gateway to the sea
While tidal waves and mighty gales were heard in symphony
And sunshine fell upon the waves and warmed the virgin land
And from the mud a drop of blood was left upon the sand

[Chorus]
We have grown, we have grown, we have captured the throne
Of the kingdom God made for our winning
We have grown, we have grown, but our children alone
Have so little time left for beginning
