The whisper of the water
Ran over my palm
Turn in and try to hold me
I mean you no harm

The soft, wondrous newborn
Upon my other hand
Here is water for your everything
I do not understand

This must be the strangest
The strangest of place
I wish I could tell you
It's going to be okay
But I just don't know

Here is my heartbeat
For your ear drum
That sensation upon your cheeks
We call that the sun

When I am sinking
Lonely or afraid
I turn myself outwards
For her warmth on my face

This must be the strangest
The strangest of place
I wish I could tell you
It's going to be okay
But I just don't know

The soft, wondrous newborn
Held in my arms
This thing you're trying to tell me
We just call it love

This must be the strangest
The strangest of place
I wish I could tell you
It's going to be okay
But I just don't know
