& All I saw was light
& All I felt were hands, like rising ocean tides
Lifting me above the waves of time
With my first breath, I cried
& All I heard was Adam say "you'll be alright"
"I'll keep you safe beside my heart tonight"
But I know what I am
Just a lonely ampersand
Such a small piece of the story
Somewhere in between
The beginning & the end
A drop of ink inside the pen of pious men
The weight of their words resting in my hands
Beyond the where & when
Beyond the borders of our lives, of now & then
Are things that we will never understand
& I know what I am
Just a lonely ampers&
Such a small piece of the story
Connecting everything
Ampersand, ampersand
& I know what I am
Just a lonely ampersand
Ampersand, ampersand
