Lyrics

There wasn't a love and then there was
it wasn't a lie, it was just because
after I'd already died a bit on the inside

The water came, the river rose
The winter came, the water froze
The fire burned, the terra growed
Now we can say now that we know

It came from the sun, it came from the earth
absent of a why an' unaware of its worth
it came from the sea, became you and me child

All in its time, all on its own
By what we've seen from what is shown
From happenstance to happy home
Now we can say now that we know what we are
A rock aside a shooting star
and we see the vast improbabilities
that brought this all to you and me

There wasn't a love and then there was
