I was up before the sunrise on the day they gave you life though your song sounded familiar I forgot the words sometimes There was sunshine in the rafters there were flowers in your hair and though your breath did not come quickly there was promise in the air your heart is like the meadow that she always talked about you asked me if i loved you though it never was in doubt I can hear your every heartbeat no, you do not have to shout when you say we were born as poets but somehow we both forgot There is shadow in the meantime there is silence on your tongue there is a thorn of sadness in every song that I have sung but that doesn't mean the darkness has the confidence to win all you need is in your spirit so keep lifting up that chin your heart is like the meadow that she always talked about you asked me if i loved you though it never was in doubt I can hear your every heartbeat no, you do not have to shout when you say we were born as poets but somehow we both forgot You've got that perfect smile though you do not know it yet yeah you were born a poet Lord, I hope you don't forget
