[D] [Am]
[A] [D] [Am]
Love is eternal, sacred light, freed from the shackles of time.
Evil is [A] darkness, [Am] sight without sign, a demon that feeds on mind.
How did it all begin?
Started with a bang.
Couple of [A] light years later, stars and planets sang.
[E] Fire warmed the cold, waves of colors flew.
Moonlight hit the [A]
gold, earth to green and blue.
[D] Love is [Am]
eternal, [E] sacred light, [Am] freed from the shackles of time.
Evil is darkness, [A] sight [Em] without sign, a demon that feeds on mind.
[E] Earth becomes a farm, farmer takes a wife.
Wife becomes a river and a giver of life.
Man becomes machine, oil runs down his [Am] face.
Machine becomes [A] a man with [E] a bomb in the marketplace.
Bomb [Am] in the marketplace.
[A] Bomb in the marketplace.
Love is [G] eternal, [E] sacred light, freed from the shackles of time.

[G#] Big bang, [F#m] that's a joke that I made up once when I had a youngster [F] killing me.
[Am] You know, most folks, [F#] they don't get that I'm joking [A] either.
Maybe someday they will.
[G#] Money, [E] money, that's the main request I receive.
[Am] Well, you know I [D] love [F#] all my children and it tears me up when I leave.
It's not [G] fast, you gotta fly down that highway.
Three eyes a bird, knock on [Bm] wood.
Thank the [G] Lord I'm driving along in my automobile.
It's a brand new Prio 964.
[E] Check out [G] the radio, pop music station.
That don't sound like my music to me.
Talk show host, what's that boy's name?
Politics [A] is ugly.
[E] At the [G] end of the time, there's a gospel show.
Maybe now I can exit and rest.
[D] There's a [G] blizzard rolling down off the banks of Lake Michigan.
We're gonna cause the roads of the ice in their hands.
