You think you found me But it was I who found you I was here from the beginning, you see I was here all along The world, my tune The universe, my song
Sticks and stones, I created them all From the wheel to the Great Wall As old as time, I am Long before Babylon I've seen it rise I've seen it fall I was the foundation after all
From kings to philosophers and poets of old I immortalized them Made them more precious than silver and gold Papers and pens were all it took And words, ah, most importantly the words And forever they live in history books
I am one, and I am all Yet you dare have me exclusively And chain me in patents of my own laws Oh, the greed of man shall be his downfall What is money? What is fame? Such things won't last, what a shame
Insolent man, Let go of desire in things you see For once, just for once, listen to me Hear me knock at the door of your mind An idea! That's what I am Immortality
