Lyrics

First there was a shell
Then there was a pearl
Then there was a boy
Then there was a hand reaching

Then there was a wave
Like no other wave
Then there was a sound
Like no other sound of Music

da da …
A Rose is how you shall kneel
A Rose is how you shall know

Then there were two or more
Gathered on the sand
Singing songs of praise
Grateful for this place of Beauty

Then the sky began to flow
Day bled into night
Our ship began to glow
The sound of tumblers changing nearby

Then we heard a shout
The air began to buzz
Footsteps pounding past
The wind began to howl
Someone cried Look! Our mast is breaking!

Then we heard a cry
A phoenix lifted up
So terrible to see
So terrible to hear
The ripping of our lives
The sound of Music breaking

da da …
Oh let there never be separation again

Then we heard a sigh
We leaned into you
We gathered to your side
Yes?
The nurses walked on past
You said I love you more than life
But I’m running without pain
Then you curled up again
And everything went white and peaceful

First there was a shell
Then there was a pearl
Then there was a girl
Then there was a hand reaching
