The sky cracked open wide no need to explain Mountains whispered secrets soaked in rain Rivers carved the earth with steady hands The story of the world written in sands The stars fell down they lit the way The sun rose fierce chased out the grey In shadows deep where the wild hearts play The tale unfolds with night and day This is the story of the whole world Every leaf every stone every flag unfurled It's etched in the winds and the ocean's swirl This is the story of the whole world The trees they talk in a language old Roots in the ground and branches bold The fire burns bright the ashes cold The story is alive but never told The clocks spin fast but the heart beats slow Through the sands of time where the echoes go A tale of love and a tale of woe The world keeps spinning and the stories grow This is the story of the whole world Every leaf every stone every flag unfurled It's etched in the winds and the ocean's swirl This is the story of the whole world
