The Magic Of Time - Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks

The magic of time that surrounded the world

In the mist and the cloud of new life

The seas had been filled and the air made clean

Awaiting the change on the ground

Sunlight in the daytime and the dew came at night

And the rain fell to dampen the earth

And the rain filled the rivers and the rivers the lakes

And the life on the ground did emerge

Rock is hidden by moss and flowers

The trees are clothed in green

The silent sun has fashioned the world

A stage for man to come

The magic of time that surrounded the world

In the mist and the cloud of new life

The seas had been filled and the air made clean

Awaiting the change on the ground
