To feel a frigid air hit my lungs To lose my mother's care all at once To cry's the only way to open my lungs No one asked me if I was ready for the plunge The light is a little too bright for my eyes And I shut my lid so tight Is sight really on the other side? I'm being born Cutting the cord The world is so cold The womb was so warm I'm being born Torn from the shore The tide is so much higher than before I'm being born Poured into the sea I'm in the belly of a whale I'm waking from a dream The dam it breaks so fast Before I am off of my knees ♪ Just look at me one minute As though you really saw me For just a moment we're all together For just a moment we're all happy I see you in the sundress I hear you in the trees You're in the air that I breathe I take you when I leave I cry you when I weep I dream you when I sleep
