("The Ancient Words") (Verse 1) In the oldest pages ever known, Before the kingdoms turned to stone, It says the earth was laid below, By the Creator's hand alone. A firmament stretched overhead, The stars were hung where He had said, The sun and moon would make their way, Across the heavens every day. (Pre-Chorus) The mountains stand, the oceans rest, The world remains just as He blessed, From age to age, through storm and flame, The earth endures, forever the same. (Chorus) And I hear the ancient words calling, Through the centuries they're still standing strong. The earth stands firm, unmoved and steady, Just as it has all along. The sun and moon keep moving above us, Within the vault of heaven's light. And I wonder how one man's idea Changed the story overnight. (Verse 2) A man once looked into the sky, And asked the questions: how and why? He drew a circle in his mind, And left the ancient view behind. The years rolled on, the theories grew, As every generation knew, New voices rose, new maps were drawn, While old beliefs kept carrying on. (Pre-Chorus) Yet the oldest book still speaks today, Its words have never gone away, A witness from another age, Preserved upon the written page. (Chorus) And I hear the ancient words calling, Through the centuries they're still standing strong. The earth stands firm, unmoved and steady, Just as it has all along. The sun and moon keep moving above us, Within the vault of heaven's light. And I wonder how one man's idea Changed the story overnight. (Bridge) We've crossed the seas and touched the moon, Sent our voices through the air. From simple phones to distant worlds, Human dreams have traveled there. But through every age of wonder, Every claim and every sight, Some still hold to ancient writings, And the vision they describe. (Final Chorus) I hear the ancient words calling, Like an echo through the night. The stories handed down before us, Still inspire faith and light. The sun and moon keep moving above us, As the stars shine in their place. And the oldest words keep speaking, Across the vastness of time and space. (Outro) Ancient words... ancient words... Still speaking through the years. Ancient words... ancient words... Calling through the spheres.
