Analysis of In the beginning.
Hello, leader of men,
You are the soul of this poor sin
You are the might of the almighty
You are the essence of the wrath within
You are the youth in me
You are the truth that I have yet to be
You are the images of deity
One day I'll find you my sweet mind
You are the shockwave and the sound
You are the calming voice the endless sea
You are the state of things the righteous star.
You are the mover of the bases bar
You take the life of every phone
You drive the earth aspin with every moan.
You are the stars with inter and outer space
You are humanities love of grace.
