lyrics

Oh little children
When you are born
Do you still go out to play
With the other kids next door?
Do you still swim in the sea
Where the wild things are?
Is the air still clean enough
To make out the stars?
When you are born.

When you are born
Do you still know how to see
The rock, the river, the lone singing tree?
Can you still feel the wind
Rustle the pines,
Or the heart that burns
Or the love that blinds?
When you are born.

When you are born
Has the city noise covered the song
Of the loon on the lake
Or the jay bird at dawn?
Have the stories been buried
Deep in old growth graves
And the journey's been frightened
From the young and the brave?
When you are born.

When you are born
Have the green fields
Been covered in stone?
Has the wild been caged
In all of our bones?
Or do we know how to love you
And let you be free
To hear the call of your voice in the leaves?

When you are born
Do you walk straight into your darkness
Knowing sin is only
The fear of our fullness?
Do you play in the soil
Deep in your garden
Without need to control,
Possess, or harden?

Life makes death
Death makes life
And sometimes in the deepest of darkness
Is where you find the life/light.

Little children when you're born
Do you still know what you are?
Blood, bone, stone and star.
Do you look beyond the fears of the mind?
In the earth beneath,
What will you find?
