When you breathed into earth
Sprung nations from the dust
Conceived it's fathers from the ground

And there lay them to rest
I did not see
Did not believe

Or remember at sea
When you opened up it's mouth
Fed the thousandth soldier in

As Israel walked out
I did not see
Did not believe

I mused on the night
When the star of east burned bright,
I heard heaven's host descend,

Yet still I walk west
I did not see
Did not believe

But even they
Who saw the same
Forget

Yes, even I
Would see these signs
And forget.

That I had no eyes to see
But faith like a seed
Blessed I would be

Blossom over me
