WHO WAS I TO BE,
KNOW ONE WILL EVER SEE,
I HAD NO FACE, NO NAME,
I HAD NO GUILT OR SHAME.
BEFORE I HAD A BREATH OF AIR,
I WAS DRAWN FROM WITHIN MY LAIR,
I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO SEE YOUR LAND,
I HAVE'NT EVEN SEEN THE BACK OF MY HAND.
WHAT ARE FEELINGS? SORROW, HAPPINESS,
WHAT IS WORK, WHAT IS REST,
WHAT IS SNOW, WHAT IS RAIN,
WHAT IS COMFORT, WHAT IS PAIN.
WHO COULD I HAVE REALLY BEEN?
MAYBE A LEADER OF MANY MEN,
I COULD HAVE BEEN STRONG AND FREE,
NOW WE KNOW THAT WILL NEVER BE.
PLEASE DO NOT CRY WHEN THINGS GO WRONG,
JUST KEEP YOUR HEART AND SOUL STRONG,
AND SOON YOU'LL KNOW THE PRIVILAGE GIVEN,
IN CAREING FOR THIS GIFT FROM HEAVEN,
THIS PRECIOUS CHILD, SO MEEK AND MILD,
IS HEAVENS VERY SPECIAL CHILD.
