Show Synopsis:
In the beginning of the world, Father created Adam and Eve to live in the Garden of Eden, but told them to stay away from the apple tree. Eve is tempted by the serpent to eat an apple, which gives her knowledge of the world, and Father banishes her from Eden. Adam eats an apple to stay with her in the wilderness, and they have two children named Cain and Abel. One day, Cain tells his family that he has found a ring of stones, indicating other people besides them, and Adam tells him to never go near the stones again, no matter how curious he is. Cain and Adam fight, and Abel intervenes and kills his brother, condemning his descendents to being forever marked for his sin. Eve prays for her descendents to once again find Eden, and dies. Generations later, Noah, a descendent of Cain's younger brother Seth, is ordered by Father to build an ark to save his family from a flood that will kill the the rest of the world. His youngest son Japheth is in love with their servant girl Yonah, who bears the mark of Cain, and he refuses to let her board the ark with them. Japheth sneaks her on the ark, and when she is discovered, Noah finds that he is not sure what the right thing to do is. He gives the couple his blessing as the family discovers that there is land nearby and that the flood will be over soon. Father gives them the power to control their own fate, since they have earned it, and Noah's family spreads throughout the world to repopulate it and perhaps find the Garden of Eden once more.
    

Oh my Father, Lord and Creator 
You know that half my heart is yours 
All that you gave me I can't repay you 
If I betray you, I'll break in two 
How could I live in a world without you

But oh my life's partner, my wife my lover 
You know that half my heart is yours 
Each I see you, you fill my spirit 
Just knowing you're near, it makes the day new 
How could I live in a world without you 

Oh Father please don't choose 
Either way it's more than I can bear to lose 
Either way it's ripping out my heart 
This choice is tearing me apart 

Oh my garden, all peace and beauty 
I know that all my heart is yours 
I want to stay here, stay here forever 
Father forever, I cannot leave 
But Eve I don't know what else to do 
How can I live... 
I cannot live... 
I will not live.. 
In a world without
You
