Stephen Schwartz - Let There Be lyrics

[STORYTELLERS] In the beginning In the beginning God created the Heaven and Earth Without form - void - darkness And God said: [FATHER] Let there be [STORYTELLERS] Light! [FATHER] I woke up from a curious dream I dreamed a perfect garden And there were whirling shapes And swirling sounds And I wasn't lonely anymore I woke up from a wonderful dream Woke, full of energy and hunger And now this hunger will be stilled And my emptiness be filled As I set about to build My dream Let there be Let there be Morning Let there be Evening, day Let there be Let there be [STORYTELLERS] Let there be [FATHER] Waters, weathers Winters, wonders [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Let there be Land and [FATHER] Speeding comets with hearts of ice Spinning planets with rings of fire [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Cosmic sparks And quasars and quarks And suns convulsing Pulsars pulsing [STORYTELLERS] Let there be [FATHER] Let there be [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Let there be [FATHER] Whales Snails Sharks Larks Apples trees with dappled barks And granite mountains and flaxen plains Giant lizards with tiny brains Fluorescent fish and crescent worms And a million bugs and trillion germs [FATHER] Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be [STORYTELLERS] Let there be Let there be And God saw it was good, it was good Let there be Let there be [FATHER, spoken] It's not enough! It's still not enough [FATHER] There was something more in my dream Something could see it and share it What was it, though I only know I wasn't lonely anymore There is one more thing to build One more void that must be filled I'll make creatures I'll call children Shaped like me [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Let there be, let there be [FATHER] Something, someone Small and skinny Clawless, furless Finless, fangless [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Let there be Man who can [FATHER] Wander over my flaxen plains Wonder up at my granite mountains Count the stars and wish for wings And hold a tool and think of things And search for answers he cannot see [STORYTELLERS] And dream of glory [FATHER] And worship me [FATHER] Let there be Let there be Let there be Let there be [STORYTELLERS] Let there be Let there be And God saw it was good, it was good Let there be Let there be Let There Be And the father breathed into his Children the breath of life And the children became Living souls And the father gave to His children a garden And called the garden Eden [FATHER, STORYTELLERS] Let there be
