Birth Story

lyrics

I'm sorry I made
That first mistake.
Made sense at the time
Didn't know the stakes.

You had arrived,
Awaited, desired.
They told me to rest
I was so tired.

You were alert
Better than imagined,
I was naive,
Trusting their actions.

I let you go,
It all crashed down,
Do you still wonder
Whether I'm around?

Nothing else
I would ever change,
Except that choice
To send you away.

Nothing else
I’d reverse in an instant
Without a thought
Like that distance.

Wasn’t allowed
To live in the present
Raised with the spectre
Of 360 vision

It stole my time
It stole that energy
I could have used
To know my fullest me.

Is my mistake
Now your curse?
Will it rob
Your blessed peace?

Is my mistake
Now your curse?
Will it rob
Your blessed peace?

I’m sorry
If you listen
You will hear me in your heart.
