Larry Klein - First Person On Earth lyrics

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 worlds 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 the earth As the water rises 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 the earth
