William Solo - In the Beginning lyrics

[JAPHETH, YONAH] This step is one again our first We set our feet upon a virgin land We hold the promise of the earth In our hands {JAPHETH, YONAH, MAMA NOAH, NOAH] No flood from heaven comes again No deluge will destroy and purify We hold the fate of man and men In our hands [FAMILY] Now at this dawn so green and glad We pray that we may long remember How lovely was the world we had In the beginning Of all the gifts we have received One is most precious and most terrible The will of each of us is free It's in our hands And if one day we hear a voice If he should speak again, our silent father All he will tell us is the choice Is in our hands Our hands can choose to drop the knife Our hearts can choose to stop the hating For every moment of our life Is the beginning [FATHER] There is no journey gone so far So far we cannot stop and change direction No doom is written in the stars [FAMILY] It's in our hands [ALL] We cannot know what wil occur Just make the journey worth the taking And pray we're wiser than we were In the beginning It's the beginning Now we begin Children of Eden Grant us your pardon All that we leave to you Is the unknown Children of Eden Seek for your garden You and your children to come Some day to come home Home
