[Verse 1]
Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
[Refrain]
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
[Verse 2]
Thrashing with violence
Hurling its lava up and down
Furnace of frenzy
Burning with power uncontrolled
[Refrain]
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
[Chorus]
Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Is that the roar of a thunderflash?
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
Father, son, looks down with happiness
Life is on its way
[Verse 1]
Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
[Refrain]
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
[Chorus]
Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Is that the roar of a thunderflash?
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
Father, son, looks down with happiness
Life is on its way
