There were bright flashes the day you were born
- - -
And your mother s hair was brown.
- - -
All of the doctors pronounced you a dead man
- - -
And they told her what to prepare for.
- - -
Somewhere far from you at the center of earth
- - -
The science that made you awoke.
- - - - - -
And it said oooo.
- - -
The gods in the sky draped in cloth made of clover
- - -
Amused by the cliffs of your plights
- - -
Sent down a goddess with hair black as night.
- - -
She gave you a piece of her power.
- - -
And once you were young and gasping for air
- - -
And now you are strong as a mountain.
- - - - - -
And all things considered it s quite coincidence I am still here and so are you.
- - -
The floor of the Earth may decide to upturn us,
- -
The skies might be ready to strike.
- - -
And you might decide, overwhelmed with surprise
- -
That there might be something on earth worth saving.
- - - - - -
Let it be me.
- - -
Oxygen sometimes can lead you off course
- - -
and breathing is something to die for,
- - - - - -
but all things considered it s quite coincidence I am still here and so are you.
