On the Day You Were Born

The sun went down and the moon came out
On the day that you were born.
The stars were more than we could count
On the day that you were born.
On a morning that was old and new
On the day that you were born.
The world opened up to welcome you
On the day that you were born.
It's all mystery and motion,
How the wheels of this world open.
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born.

The winds blew patterns through the trees
On the day that you were born.
The waters wandered toward the sea
On the day that you were born.
It's all mystery and motion,
How the wheels of this world open.
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born.
The redbuds fade and bloom again
On the day that you were born.
The birds knew where and they knew when
On the day that you were born.
In the clouds and vapor and the quiet lakes
On the day that you were born.
In the deepest currents and waves that break
On the day that you were born.
It's all mystery and motion,
How the wheels of this world open.
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born.
In the prayers and psalms that whisper through the trees,
In the secret places only God can see.
In the things we feel but cannot be said,
We all hold hands and bow our heads.
Seasons pass and seasons grow
On the day that you were born.There were things we'll never know
On the day that you were born.
But love is all and love is true
On the day that you were born.
And love will always welcome you
On the day that you were born.
It's all mystery and motion,
How the wheels of this world open.
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born.
It's all mystery and motion,
How the wheels of this world open.
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born.
