Conversation With A Baby |
We’re really very lucky that you got here |
Nowadays they slay them at the door |
Wish that you could tell us where you came from |
But no one can remember from before |
If you could talk I’ll bet you’d tell me |
Yes I know you gathered in the womb |
But where do all the little babies come from? |
Do they tarry over there in the tomb? |
It’s only holy magic that could send you |
Make you with that precious little face |
Look just like your daddy, like an angel |
Living in this sad and lonely place |
I wonder if you’ve been to other planets; |
Other worlds with other dreams to share? |
Maybe in a twinkling of a moment |
Of a sudden you’ll remember being there |
There’s something else I’d really like to ask you |
Does the shining spirit reappear |
Does it travel further through the distance? |
Is it all by chance our being there? |
They say that life is fleeting and we vanish |
Living here’s not all that it could be |
But is it like a circle? |
A dimension? |
A calculation measured by degree? |
You’re holding heaven’s secrets little darling |
Never mind I saw that precious smile |
Maybe thought, perhaps one day you’ll tell us |
Exactly where you’ve been all the while |
So where do all the little babies come from? |
Were you really sent here on the run? |
Did you ride a mighty beam of lightning? |
You little rascal you, you came here |
From the sun |
