Primordial Soup (traditional recipe)

from Song Fu and Stuff by Dr. Lindyke

/

about

This was created for Song Fu #6, round 3. The challenge was to write a song involving a recipe, not necessarily for food.

lyrics

PRIMORDIAL SOUP
=============

From wherever we have come
We may never know the truth
Of what has taken place
In a billion years

(Of what has taken place - in a billion years)

There must be some recipe
To explain the mind of Man
And not some accident
Born from fallen rain

(Not some accident - born from fallen rain)

Separate the Chaos
Into Day and Night
Where once was only darkness
Add a cup of morning light

(Where there's darkness - add some morning light)

Raise a firmament above
The dry land now below
Call it Heaven

(Call it Heaven)

Raise a firmament above
The dry land now below
Call it Heaven

(Call it Heaven)

Gather waters of the deep
Fill the cauldron, let it steep
Stir it 'round and 'round
Watch the world go 'round

(Stir it 'round and 'round - watch the world go 'round)

Light a spark within the broth
Mull it gently, give it Breath
Let it grow --

Let it grow -

[choral voices repeat on fade out]
