You were born into the storm

Cast adrift upon a wave

To be living and make life begin

Like the ancient mystic ship

Bounding seaward toward the sun

Becomes a cosmic dancer in the wind

Stars that shine and rains that swirls

Sparkling sands of endless worlds

Driven by the thought that men are free

Love that makes and breaks a man

Memories fade and new ones stand

And another ship bounds through the sea

Like in dreams sometimes it's so confusing to change

 When you move from where you have been

To where you have come

Like in life when you look in to a child's eyes

 They see it's all very clear

It's near and then gone

Before the rising of the sun

Before the whirling winds were stirred

Before the simple rhymes of men were sung

Before the age of hate and pride

Before we laughed, before we cried

We were all contained and then begun
