The Day You Were Born

In the day you were born when you fell to the earth
 When the sun hits your eyes when it shadowed your birth
 You were perfect enough
 You were flowers held over the sea
 You mother was moonlight
 Your father the stars
 You were free of illusion, delusion of scars
 Before innocence fell to the wolves before blood was drawn
 Before innocence fell to the wolves before blood was drawn
 And the moon in the end ---
 When all that you were was to be
 The moment you truly were more than yourself you knew what it was to be free
 And there you were taught of desire and shame
 Of the sickness of sorrow the weakness of blame
 When your spirit was sent to the place of your wanted mind
 It was there you knew loss it was there you knew pain
 The storm rage in your heart; thunder, lightning it rained
 Is this human you ask yourself over and over again
 Is this human you ask yourself over and over again
 The silence that turned you to stone
 The sufferin' that left you alone
 When hope was forsaken you carried your cross
 To the stillness that led you back home
 By the sun and the illness of man
 Through everything ---
 Your reflection begins to appear ---
 It's the light that your soul understands
 The silence that turned you to stone
 The sufferin' that left you alone
 When hope was forsaken you carried your cross
 To the stillness that led you back home
 Your vessel in carrying hands
 Fell back to the water from man
 You accept what you don't understand
 The sun and the illness of man
