Lyrics (#individ) Back to listing Parent individual File Allyson's Song As One We're Born.doc Lyrics As one we’re born By Allyson Boe Based on a story from Paul Reisler We're rowing up the mountainside just you and me far as I can see We're paddling over the great divide 'Tween emptiness and liberty You listen, and I listen Tell me a story The river slakes the wilderness The hawk he spins o'er moonlit skies The stars are points of ice and like The biding trust that fills your eyes You listen, and I listen Oh, tell me. CHORUS As one we're born, as one we die As the river breathes white clouds into the sky As two we love, as two we fly Swift through the gales that render this divide That render this divide. The origin of life I've heard Is of fire and of stars But the stirrings of the soul they come In the quiet rowing hours He listens, and she listens To the story. The diamond waves they shift and play We're deep within the riverbed A thousand fish as one fish move As dawn rolls nearer blushing red She listens, and he listens, Mmm tell me! CHORUS BRIDGE We are lost in the sound of our voices telling stories We can't see through the fog what is swimming past the oars And we go on, on in fear, though the rain it near destroys us And I'm praying to God to guide us through the forest Of our fears, of our doubts, of our miscommunication And I feel in my soul, it's a lightning sensation and I know you are listening and the light will come upon us For the end of the world couldn't quench the love that's drawn us CHORUS Do you really want to delete this item?
