Just as two breaths become one breath,
As two whispers become a cry,
Miracle before us lies,

The glory of a new-born child.

These half-closed eyes already see,

Looking without looking within.
A testament of truth before, before our eyes.
The glory of a new-born child.


This place, where life's long path begins,
If they be princes, queens, or kings,

Laid helpless here at mother's side,
The glory of a new-born child
