New Child

New child - in the night loudly crying
Bringing me urgently forth from may deep
Needing me - needing me - needing me
I rejoice - flowing with love, with the river of life
Holding you - holding you - holding you
I know what pm for - holding you. 

Young child in the sunlight now playing
Sand and water upon your bright face
Showing me - showing me - showing me
All that you can make - all that you can do watching you - watching you - watching you
For this was I made - watching you.

Growing child - walking upward newly tall
​I'll still here if you should fall toting now - waiting now - waiting now
I can only wait - wait if you should call
Willing me - willing me - willing me
To stay in this place - if you should go

No longer child now - only man
I cannot see for all my tears
Searching now - searching now - searching now
For the place where I must stand
Listening now - listening now - listening now
All alone on deserted sand 

A sound comes - a million voices in the night
Shouting their hunger - shouting their fright
Pleading now, calling now - hoping now
Moving me quickly toward desperate cry
Answering them answering them - answering them
There are too many - I cannot reach

Young man - you walk quickly before me
Child I once carried, now fully grown
Leading me - leading me - leading me
You too hear the sound of the voices
Touching them - touching them - touching them
​I do not walk alone.
