In the beginning
was the Word
and the Word
was a vibration
and the vibration
was a sound
and the sound
was a song
and the song
was a manifestation
and the manifestation
was an image of Creation
and the Creation
took on form
and the form
was chaos
and the chaos
brought about order
and the order
led to evolution
and the evolution
learned to adapt
and the adaptation
led to humanity
and humanity
became conscious
and consciousness
became the lyric
