E
Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you

Chorus:
Am
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
          B Am
It has begun
                        Em
You're in the hands of destiny

Thrashing with violence
Hurling its lava up and down
Furnace of frenzy
Burning with power uncontrolled

Chorus:
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

Em                                  A  Em A
Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Am
Is that the roar of a thunderflash?
Em                                        A    Em A
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
C
Father, son, looks down with happiness
B
Life is on its way

Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you

Chorus:
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny

Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Is that the roar of a thunderflash?
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
Father, son, looks down with happiness
Life is on its way
