Son Song

With pangs of birth
Stir up the earth

My lungs explode from sky to ground
I scream a lullaby of love
It reaches to the stars above
Encircles womb with notes profound

I scream a lullaby of love
My soul is etched with songs newfound
Ancestral chords throughout resound
It reaches to the stars above

With pangs of birth
I scream a lullaby of love
Burst forth with neonatal sound
It reaches to the stars above
Stir up the earth

Stir up the earth
With pangs of birth
