Another baby's born.
Another potential savior,
resurrected, anointed,
waving tiny hands that part the seas
and lead his people to freedom.

Help him find proverbs to emulate.
Help him to place his faith in higher beings.
Then he will become the essence of all things.

Bear the child
and he will bear with you.
Rear the child
and always face him forward.
Love the child
and you will love the adult.

Waving tiny hands,
that part the seas,
that lead to freedom.

Another baby's born,
waving tiny hands that part the seas.
Like a dove, she flies.
Like a dove, she lies unknown to me.
Like a dove, she flies.
Like a dove, she lies unknown to me.

Bear the child
and she will bear with you.
Rear the child
and always face her forward.
Love the child
and you will love the adult.

Waving tiny hands,
that part the seas,
that lead to freedom.
