Let There Be Music (Prefab Sprout)

Let There Be Music




In the beginning was a mighty bang,


as the shockwaves spread and the heavens rang.


From the start this world was violent,


man asked why but the sky was silent.


God was moved, he made a choice,


he said: 'let music be my voice.'



Let there be music,

music will be...

and you shall hear my story,

you will glimpse my glory

and find a refuge

from the trouble that you see



Let there be music,

music will be...

and if your burden grieves you

your baby ups and leaves you,

I'll be your blues if you should choose

to lean on me



He, he said let there be (let there be)

music, and there was...

children don't you cry, because

He, he said let there be (let there be)

music, and there was...

children don't you cry, because



There shall be music,

music will be...

and if cupid's bow

strikes you low,

hey Jules and Jim,

I wrote the hymn to ectasy.



He, he said let there be (let there be)

music, and there was...

children don't you cry, because



I am always near you

so don't think I can't hear you

I am present, I am calling

in the sound when rain is falling



I wear the thin disguise

the lovers' sobs and sighs...

don't you know

who I am?



(woo-hooo-hoo-ooo-ooo)

who I am? (woo-hooo-hoo-ooo-ooo)



He, he said let there be (he said let there be)

music, and there was...

children don't you cry, because

He, he said let there be

music, and there was...

children don't you cry, because



There shall be music,

music will be...
