almost born (lyrics):

verse 1
weathervane
whirls on awning
pregnant clouds
thunder warning
full moon wanes
father waxes
womb is tight
then relaxes

chorus:
almost born (x4)

verse 2
mother's will
bends to urging
strong contractions
power surging
Thursday is
your birthday daughter
bid farewell
your world of water
bridge
In the pivotal moment
between old and new
all of our hopes and
our joys rest on you
we pray for your safety
and anxiously pace
in anticipation
of seeing your face





verse 3
almost born
formed of frame
knit together
days ordained
fear and wonder
flesh and spirit
Master-woven
living fabric
