no creator, no savior
from sex and not sin
the earth starts to shudder
and the cycle begins
from the breath of two lovers,
comes baby's first yawn
and somewhere, here hidden
there's a birthday song
count your blessings, daily i dare you
and may your fears rarely scare you
let your heart strings grow thick and long
and somewhere, here hidden
there's a birthday song
hail to ancestors
where we came from
for great grandma's ghost lives
within your bones
she was a baby before daddy was born
and somewhere, here hidden
there's a birthday song
