Birth

I was hanging from a tree,

unaccustomed to such violence

Jesus looking down on me

I'm prepared for one big silence

How'd I ever end up here

must be through some lack of kindness

And it seemed to dawn on me:

haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key

to a healthy heart beat

At the time they cut me free

I was brimming with defiance

Doctors looking down on me,

breaking every law of science

How'd I ever end up here?

A latent strain of color blindness

Then it seemed to dawn on me:

haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key

to a healthy heart beat

Now my feet don't touch the ground...

As they drag me to my feet

I was filled with incoherence

Theories of conspiracy,

the whole world wants my disappearance

I'll go fighting nail and teeth,

you've never seen such perseverance

Gonna make you scared of me

'cause haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key

to a healthy heart beat

Now my feet don't touch the ground...
