Prologue - Before The World Was

You meant the world to me
Before the world was
When there was no fear, no decree
Before the world was
Before the world was

I made you what you'd become
I placed a world inside
Love is the field where you'd run
With no reason to hide

But you bought the lie
That they begged you to buy
And the dream had to to die
It found no place there

And I reached for a way
Tried to send you a sign
But you became violent
And blind with despair

But before the world was
I knew you
You were part of me
We were somethin' true
Yes, before the world was
I loved you
You knew me and I knew ya
As we sang Hallelujah

You planted a future in me
Before the world was
Preempting thought or memory
Before probable cause

But I buried it deep
In the darkest soil
And with sweat and toil
I carved my way

But before the world was
I knew you
We had somethin' good
It was always new
Yes, before the world was
I loved you
You knew me and I knew ya
As we sang Hallelujah

Yes, before the world was
I knew you
You were part of me
We had somethin' true
Yes, before the world was
I loved you
You knew me and I knew ya
We sang Hallelujah
Yeah, you knew me and I knew ya
We sang Hallelujah

Before the world was
I loved you
