Back to Birth - Jackie Greene

I remember when you were born

I recall the day

The air was frozen

But you were warm

I guess you’re still that way

And by the way

I’ve known your face

From since the world was young

And you were new

And I’m proud to say

You’ve walked with grace

And never bowed your shoulder

But you know we all get older

Lay me down for final sleep

Turn the music low

Whisper something I can keep

And back to birth I shall go

I have squandered

And I have saved

That don’t matter now

All I need is to be brave

And son you’ve shown me how

If there’s a light I’ll find my way

For this is something we’re all meant to do

I thank you for this joyous day

With your sisters

And your brothers

I can tell you love each other

Gather round so I may speak

Hear so you may know

I have found all that I seek

So back to birth I must go

Whoa
