I danced before i had two feet.
Sang before i had a tongue.
I laughed before i had two eyes.
Loved before my heart was young.
I swam before i had two hands
And held the distance in my toes.
Before i heard the stars i knew
The wild compulsion of the rose.
I bore the fruits of many lies.
Before i came into this day.
I knew before my grave was made,
The worms eat only death away
The worms eat only death away
I danced before i had two feet
I danced before i had two feet
I danced before i had two feet
I danced before i had two feet.
