Rebirth
 

I nest your baby's sleeping form
cradled in my restless arm,
this cold world's empty of its weeping
the weak are shielded from all harm

Piece of the wholeness bred from the psalms,
bred of the holiness, peace of the palms!

Till the land we lost at a softer cost
the yeast of Easter bread can't beat
three awesome days delay in rising
brokered trust lies dormant in defeat

Piece of the wholeness bred from the psalms,
bred of the holiness, peace of the palms!

For who would tie me to my stake,
who would fell the final tree,
who would stake a heart to fortune,
who will set their fortune free?

Piece of the wholeness bred from the psalms,
bred of the holiness, peace of the palms!
