In fields of green, vast as the oceans    Is this a dream, is it evermore?    A million years, fast as a notion    I stand alone here on the silent shore       I'm after prey in the fields    Shelter in a cave from the cold and lonely nights    And now it all seems so real    warming at the fireside beneath the pale moonlight       This is the dawn of time    I am the first to stand    Looking through the eyes of the primal man    This is the dawn of time    Witnessing the birth    I am the first man on earth       The skies of blue reach to the heavens    They go on and on forevermore    No avenues, no city sidewalks    Planet Mars is but ancient lore       This place has all that I need    No computers glowing screens, no industrial machines    Somehow it all seems surreal    Memories of days gone by, a slowly fading scene       This is the dawn of time    I am the first to stand    Looking through the eyes of the primal man    This is the dawn of time    Witnessing the birth    I am the first man on earth       No one here to blame me    No one here to hurt    So much space here to occupy my mind    I can breathe the breath of virgin land       The firefly at nighttime    The sounds of nothing known    And I belong here like I never have before    The wandering child returning home       When twilight falls, red is the sunset    Planets appear across the colored sky    No prison walls, no war, no bloodshed    Hard to believe this new world will die       I wish that I could stay for a while    In the dream world that the sequencer creates    And though it all seems so real    Now I fear the time is gone, I feel its heavy weight       This is the dawn of time    I am the first to stand    Looking through the eyes of the primal man    This is the dawn of time    Witnessing the birth    I am the first man on earth       Hold on to this moment in time (Hold on)   Savor a life how it used to be (Savior this moment... how it used to be)   Hold on to the world in its prime (In its prime)   Breathe in the air, feel the energy (Feel the energy)
