'A NEW BORN CHILD'
Sinnead O'Connor & Armand Amar

Just as two breaths become one breath.
As two whispers become a cry.
Miracle before us lies.
The glory of a new-born child.
These half-closed eyes already see.
Looking without looking within.
A testament of truth before, before our eyes.
The glory of a new-born child.
This place, where life's long path begins.
If they be princes, queens, or kings.
Laid helpless here at mother's side.
The glory of a new-born child.
