Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The day you came
Naked, afraid
Your mother screams and pushes you
The day you came
[Verse 2]
Oh, joy begin
Weak, little thing
More precious there be nothing, no
Oh, joy begin
[Verse 3]
Let's not forget these early days
Remember we began the same
We lose our way in fear and pain
Oh, joy begin
[Verse 4]
First just one step
One word and then
With laughter single life begins
First just one step
[Verse 5]
Let's not forget these early days
Remembering we began the same
We lose our way in fear and hate
Oh, joy begin
[Verse 6]
Innocent kiss
Black magic bliss
First broken bones, sudden and swift
Oh, innocence
[Verse 7]
Let's not forget these early days
Remember we begin the same
We lose our way, our fear and pain
Oh, joy begin
Oh, joy begin
