Born (feat. LaToya Kent)

Ghosts in the discipline of the human

Forces swimming within

Brewing atone ascending

The fleeting passage of time

The planet turned in on itself, then peaced back

On earth

Born

We all came from a woman

Grew our bodies inside her

Washed in her blood, first blood

So how does the mother stand beside, when she created

As the child takes laboured breath

Like the first

Last blood, not like the first

For walking, for playing, for driving, for breathing, for being

Bearing her feelings with the limbs she bore to life

Her heart, heavier than the body

We wrap around these times

We hold to be felt our brown skin shining against the sun

Bright and seen, always seen

Creating a shielding layer of strength

To muster a life in the open

Bright as the new sun

One with blending colors strung about

Can we see each other through the mist

A hazy new face caught in the moment of living?

I knew this wasn't a dream

'Cause dreams don't feel matter

And matter is solid in its turn
