And there was day
And there was night
There was dark
And there was light
    
There was the earth
There was the sky
And there in the tree
There crawled a lie
    
There in Eden
There was good
There in the garden
Where the Tree of Life stood
    
There the snake was
There the pain
And we're tryin' to get back
To the garden again
    
There was fire
There was rain
There was talk
There was shame
    
They were moanin'
They were cryin'
But there still is a glimmer
In the big man's eye
