Sentimental Journeys

On this day, I came to be
On this day, the earth saw me
On this day, the cord was cut
On this day, I kept my eyes shut

For the light was too bright
For the air was so tight
The sounds gave me a fright
With the cries of delight.

On this day, I came to be
On this day, I was set free
On this day, the world beckoned me here
On this day, it was clear

That, I belong to something more,
Somewhere I have never been before
Keeping a link to the core
Indebted to the womb that bore.
