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
