you are birdsong
you are moonlight
you are white snow
you are rippling cornstalks
you are rolling hills
you are the sun setting behind the mountains
you are morning air, and dew
you are a ripple in a quiet lake
you are refracted light in a flowing stream
you are a bed of lilacs warmed by the sun

you are beauty
beauty is you
for emma
Turn the other cheek!
I did though my pride was stung,
Then you struck again.

Before your story about Adam,
and your tale about Eve.
Before the mountains and the valleys,
long before the deep blue sea.

When there were no seasons,
no sun nor moon above.
I was here before everything,
I Am Eternal Love.

You tried to run and hide from me,
though you'd never seen my face.
So afraid of my glory,
so afraid of my grace.

You worshiped many idols,
you put them high above.
But lasting peace can not be found,
without Eternal Love.

And when you've fought all your battles,
and there's no one left to fight.
When the night becomes day,
and the day becomes night.

When you return to ashes,
and you return to dust,
I am all that will remain,
I am Eternal Love.
