YOU WERE BORN IN THE SPRINGTIME WHEN EVERYTHING BLOOMS

You were born in the springtime

When the wind bends the sky

When the ground opens up

And the ocean is wild

You were born from a storm

That broke open the sky

In the belly of the ocean

In the deepest of night

You are made from the rain

On an earth, breathing fire

You bleed blue into red

To make indigo sky

Dancing through the summer

Stumbling through the fall

Wading through winters

Where the earth never thaws

When the sky opens up

You open, too

You were born in the springtime

When everything blooms.
