Since the first star split the black

Split the silence, too

Since the first dawn woke this earth

Found it clothed in blue

Since the first bird song was sung

As through the air it flew

It's been you, it's always been you

It's always been you.

Since the first thrust of the sea

Lie spent upon the shore

Since the first breath filled these lungs

Left them wanting more

Since the first your lips met mine

Soft as morning dew

It's been you, it's always been you

It's always been you.

Led me out of the darkness

Fed my heart on ancient land

Kept me close, kept me honest

I love you, oh how I love you

Oh how I love you

Oh how I love you.

Since the first star split the black

The very light itself was moved

Since the first word moved the air

One syllable and true

Since the first your eyes found mine

It was all at once I knew

It's been you, it's always been you

It's always been you.

It's always been you

It's always been you.
