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
