Lyrics

Deep within the starswept perimeter
dwells the highest transcendence.
Architect and lover of the world
who knows all greatness and smallness.
Force that seeds and waters soil.
Force that watches creation toil.
Eternal eyes, infinite light,
ever shining bright.

Transcendence sends a magic burst
to a waiting womb.
Luminescence so pure
as to wash the charred heart.
Vibration so tuned
as to still disquiet.
Warmth so profound
as to turn death into renewal.

Now begins flow of blood.
Blessing of tissue.
Alignment of neurons.
New child, now delivered into being,
shocked by mortal senses,
floating on a sea of soft hymns
and experienced fingertips.
New eyes, new light,
emerging from darkest night.

Flowers open wide in expectation
of new breath, new word,
new stewardship.
Old souls applaud the act of regeneration,
the possible repair of chaos.
Neglected water, dusty roads
ready to convey a fresh new soul
to deepest crypts and highest summits.

Ride on, sweet child,
guided by the glowing shadows
of your saintly mentors.
Journey safe through valleys,
'cross plains, toward a rising sun.
Grow well, seed of hope
for heavy hearts and furrowed brows.
Illuminate us with your new eyes.
