Lyrics

FOR MILLIE

Breathe in breathe out
What can you hear?
How different it is
without the curtain of the womb
Breathe in breathe out
Open your eyes how bright it is
outside the shade of the womb
Growing in growing out
Fascinated by everything

Breathe in breathe out
What can you feel
How cold it is
without the comfort of the womb
Cry cry cry
How precious that sound
That makes them laugh 'cause your ok
Making fun happen everywhere
There are sunbeams in your eyes

Loving hard and happy
Pain comes like an unwelcome stranger
It becomes a mystery
And the answer comes too late

You are held and rocked
Day and night without ceasing
Baptized with my tears
Never far from my womb

Everywhere I am you are in and around me
You are the wind, the sun, the rain on my face
Never far, never forgotten
Waiting in the Joy and the Light...
