Decomposure - Selah

You were dipped in liquid silver

when they lifted you above the turquoise sheets

you made a plaintive sound while we held hands

they set you down between our faces

it was true -

your mom started crying, i admit i teared up too

that was how we first came to meet you

You’ll reach out and grab my finger

though i know that’s just a reflex thing

you wake up every few hours

and your tired mom gives you milk and sings

but one day you’ll want food

after that, before you know it,

you’ll be off to school

you’ve got so much learning left to do

(Selah)

You don’t understand a word i say

but sometimes you’ll smile anyhow, without your teeth

your feet are soft and smooth

because they’ve never touched the ground

you’ve never had a bruise

your eyes grow wide and shine

when something new comes into view

it’s a mystery and everything is new

you’ve got so much life ahead of you
