.

I was there when the stars came crashing down,

When the purple night came over our town,

I was there when your mother disappeared,

And when the souls of the living were cleared,

I was there to watch babes grow into men,

There again when the sword clashed with the pen,

I was there to see endless fields of grass

Mirror the ocean, the sky hug the earth,

I was there also to witness the birth

Of the hidden city of broken glass,

I was there early for the beginning,

I saw the moon cry and the sun grinning,

And for as long as my life I can mend

I shall be there the time when comes the end.
