Reign of Man

On a lone island 
Is a man birthed from darkness 
Who has the power of all 
Surrounded by waves 
Adam woke up from the earth 
Given limitless power 

By his soft eyelids 
The lone sun revives and dies 
Both seas and rivers roll on 
By his warm breathing 
Earth can birth every wonder 
By each and every step he takes 

Until he sees one 
Another birthed from nothing 
To share power and joy with 
Breathing in the air 
Feet to walk across seas 
Eyes to see the entire world
