Lyrics

The Union

Welcome to the baby boy

Brings the world with all the joy

Still the world is spinning on his face

And all the blooming lights to noon

Run and hide get boundary

Rich between the mountains and the wind

Hand to hand we share the joy

Village beans and city scapes

Now the grind is being washed from our face

A joy of shades with skinny legs

Skin disarms most every

Helps when all years lose their way

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

Welcome to the union

Son of moon and sea and land

Every miracle it's closed and had

I wonder if there's nothing more

Welcoming the baby boy

Seeing part of you shine in his face

Oh happy day, oh happy joy

Welcoming the baby boy

Still the world is spinning on his face

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up

I'm waking up
