Newborn
Words and music by Angela Sheik

Newborn, tender lungs
Grip the morning air.
A timid, curious stare
Pours out from unveiled eyes.

Gently wakened
by a touch of light,
A moon has split the night
And brushes the brightening skies.

Drawn to touch it,
shaky legs will reach
And quickly buckle, each
To fall, but then to rise.
Knowing nothing
but the chilly beams,
The warmest thing, it seems
To ever grace these eyes.


Beauty, heavenly,
Want for the light above
Becomes a raging love
And yet beyond this lies
Brighter, warmer
We’ve only just begun,
We’ve yet to face the Sun,
It‘s mere reflection and we rise.

Drawn to touch it,
shaky legs will reach
And quickly buckle, each
To fall, but then to rise.
Knowing nothing
but the chilly beams,
The warmest thing, it seems
To ever grace these eyes.
