    Verse 1
    In 
    the be
    ginning 
    there 
    was 
    noth

    ingness 
    and 
    God 
    but 
    waved 
    his 
    hand 

    And from 
    the endless 
    void 
    there 

    sprang 
    the beauty 
    of 
    the 
    land 

    And 
    high 
    above 
    the 
    canyon 
    walls 

    the diamond 
    stars 
    were 
    new 

    An
    breezes 
    blew 
    from 
    nothingness 

    and 
    herbs 
    and 
    grasses 
    grew 

    And 
    silent 
    creatures 
    roamed 
    the 
    Earth 

    and 
    multiplied 
    their 
    [Do7]kind 

    And 
    man 
    was 
    but 
    a mo
    lecule 
    that 

    God 
    had 
    left 
    be
    hind. 

    Verse 2
    [Chorus:] 
    We have 
    grown 

    we 
    have 
    grown, 

    we 
    have 
    captured 
    the 
    throne 

    Of 
    the kingdom 
    God 
    made 

    for 
    our 
    winning. 

    We 
    have 
    grown 
    we 
    have 
    grown, 

    but 
    our 
    children 
    alone 

    Have 
    so 
    little 
    time 
    left 
    for 
    begin
    ning. 

    Verse 3
    An
    mountains 
    sprang 
    and 
    chaos 

    rang 
    the 
    overture 
    of 
    life 

    And 
    rivers 
    coursed 
    the 
    twisted 

    blade 
    of 
    natures 
    sharpest 
    knife 

    And 
    cut 
    beneath 
    the rolling 
    dales 

    gateway 
    to 
    the sea 

    While 
    tidal 
    waves 
    and mighty 
    gales 

    were 
    heard 
    in 
    sym
    phony 

    And 
    sunshine 
    fell 
    upon 
    the 
    waves 

    an
    warmed 
    the virgin 
    land 

    And 
    from 
    the 
    mud 
    drop 
    of 
    blood 
    was 
    left 
    upon 
    the sand. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    (Chorus) 

    And 
    eagles 
    flew 
    from 
    craggy 
    peak

    above 
    the 
    garden 
    wall. 

    The drop 
    of 
    blood 
    be
    came 
    a man, 

    the 
    tree 
    of 
    life 
    grew 
    tall. 

    And 
    perfect 
    in his 
    loneliness, 

    a rib 
    pulled 
    from 
    his 
    chest 

    Formed 
    a sweet 
    companion 

    of 
    pulchritude 
    and 
    breast. 

    And 
    from 
    the 
    tree 
    of 
    knowledge 

    God 
    said 
    they 
    could 
    not 
    eat. 

    An
    perfect 
    was 
    their 
    paradise 
    un
    to 
    the 
    serpent 
    at their 

    feet. 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    (Chorus) 

    Tree 
    of knowledge, 
    tree 
    of 
    death, 

    upon 
    the ground 
    they 
    trod. 

    The serpent 
    said 
    your 
    eye's 
    will 

    see 
    and 
    ye 
    will 
    be 
    a god. 

    Defy 
    the 
    word 
    an
    eat 
    the 
    fruit 

    and 
    ye 
    will 
    never 
    die 

    An
    you 
    will 
    chart 
    your 
    destiny 

    and 
    rule 
    the 
    Earth 
    and 
    sky. 

    And 
    man 
    was 
    ban
    ished 
    east 
    of 
    Eden. 

    See 
    what 
    we 
    have 
    lost. 

    For 
    though 
    the 
    father 
    sets 
    the price, 

    the children 
    pay 
    the cost. 

    Outro 1
    (Chorus)

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
