Lyrics

Scientists cannot explain
Out of nothing
Something came
Source for us, the trees
And the sun

From a single point in space
Out of nothing
Something came
Source for us, the trees
And the sun

Ten billion years
Still a mere blink
In eternity?s eye
We say with a smile
To our sister
The sun

Don?t ask me I can?t explain
Out of nothing
Something came
Source for us, the trees
And the sun

Now we?re in this time and place
An earth so full
Of pain and grace
Home for us and the trees
Under the sun

Love and fear both dance in place
We take a stand
For Spirit?s sake
Searching for a home
Under the sun

Ten billion years
Still a mere blink
In eternity?s eye
We say with a smile
To our sister
The sun

I say God, while some say fate
But out of nothing
Something great
Source for us, the trees
And the sun
