When you were born
The hibiscus was in bloom
And the leaves outside the window
Were a bright green room
When you were born
There were no clouds in view
You came down from the heavens
And the world felt new
My beautiful son, ohohohoh
Earth of my earth, you're the blood of my blood
And all the days, all the days
I've been trying to be your guide
In all the ways
And and I watch, as I watch you take your place
It has been my greatest joy
To know your face
My beautiful son, ohohohoh
Earth of my earth, you're the blood of my blood
Earth of my earth, you're the blood of my blood
Earth of my earth, you're the blood of my blood
