The hungry Earth, The life spark to start the race.   In The Beginning In the beginning,                                             Heloise There was Heaven. Heaven was in the sky.   Below Heaven was Earth,                               Tilly Primordial Earth. Unprepared for Man.   Steaming, swirling and heaving,                       Liam It spewed up life-forms vast And monstrous.   And in the end,                                                Kirsty The Earth was covered with soil sent down from Heaven. that Earth below was ready.   The Creation of Plants and Animals The Earth was dry.                                             Tia The Earth was wide. The Earth was without beauty. (This section is performed as a sequence of images the order is as follows: trees, fishes, a large bird and leopard pouncing on a duika.) The Earth was rich and furnished well                Lily With all Man’s needs and more. All life had purpose, form and grace,                  Harry And moved in rhythm and even pace.   The Creation of Humans Then in humility,                                                Maisie At God’s feet, Man was presented His works complete.   One by one                                                       Sophie He laid them out Upon their backs across the floor.   The giving of Life,                                            Chloe The very first breath, Was the breath of God alone.   The Awakening Awakening to the first breath of dawn,           Maisie Humans newly made, Inhaled the Holy air And felt the warm caress of light.   For with his breath,                                          Kirsty God had infused Humans with power to create.   To live and know and show again                  Liam In truth the beauty of the World. As poet, painter, scuptor, dancer Through music, story and song.   To live was to dance.                                    ALL To dance, to worship. Heaven was in easy reach. No need to die to get there. There was no death.
