Before the beginning, when there was no time to tell
Before the first explosion, before heaven, before hell
He was already counting, already setting laws in stone
Already choosing elements that wouldn’t yet be known
He didn’t throw the dice and hope that something might appear
He counted every constant through the silence, step by step
Before the beginning He already knew
What it would take to make a single eye see through
Before the light was spoken, before the stars were lit
He had already chosen what would later make it fit
He prepared the cobalt long before the first Kilonova burned
Knowing one day life would need it, though the planet wasn’t turned
Tried iron, tried the others, nothing worked the way it should
Only cobalt in the center made the molecules do good
And the rhodopsin waited in the dark for photons yet to come
Changing state in nanoseconds — work that had to be done
Before the beginning He already knew
What it would take to make a single eye see through
Before the light was spoken, before the stars were lit
He had already chosen what would later make it fit
It wasn’t random kindness, it wasn’t blind design
It was patient, calculated, almost stubborn, almost kind
He let the universe expand, let the heavy elements collide
Just to have them ready when the first cells would divide
Before the beginning He already knew
That one day someone somewhere would be looking for a clue
That one day someone somewhere would be calling Him by name
Abba — from the silence where the planning first began
