In the beginning of it all there was the land 
And the sea and she sky 
Then into the middle of it all there came man 
To live on the land. 
And then a great nation 
Put into operation an evolutionary plan 
Now mighty corporations and politicians rule the land 


Wish I could remember when 
We were more innocent 
Than all of those violent bitter men. 
The world was much younger then 
But we were much wiser then. 
Before we were full of discontent. 


It's too bad the simple ways came sadly to an end 
I guess that's the difference between now and then. 
In the beginning of it all there was the land. 
We were much younger then 
But we were much wiser then 
We never questioned why or when 
One day we'll be born again 
Our lovers and friends will remain 
To live in a world without suffering and pain 


And I can see a day when enemies are friends. 
And there'll be no distance between now and then. 
In the beginning of it all there was the Land.
