I Am Born

All the people in all the world

Will look for something that will keep it turning

Everyone's got to keep the will

Every boy every girl

I'm no different why the other day

I saw death like an ocean that could wash us away

The only comfort that I got was this

I once was unlovely and now I'm kissed

I am born

Aliver than the raging sea

Stranger than the strangest beasts

Than ever can be

After midnight and the night is black

You lie awake and the fear comes back

That your breath will stop

And this world will carry on

But I am born

Once there was nothing here

Not even the smell of fear

Nothing at all

Until you are born

Gasping out and in to open air

Taking hold of the atmosphere

And loving being born
