about

Struck by inspiration, I was reborn.

Water within, mountain without, this situation is called "Childhood." In this case the patient, strong standing mountain guides the flow of the water. This is like the relationship between parent and child. It doesn't have to be literally that, it could be a situation where someone is playing the role of a parent relative to the other person's behavior.

The song to represent this is more from the perspective of the child. When we are born we know nothing. Our parents have to stop us from licking electrical sockets because that's how little we know. I wanted to encompass the feelings of my own childhood.

lyrics

A child is born without disease
A child is born without decay
Father time did plant the seed
And mother earth did cultivate
There is wisdom in the way
He doesn't know the words you say
He doesn't even know his name
He never even played the game

A child is born
Without a care
He doesn't know
Whats out there
A child is born
Without a say
He doesn't even
Know the way

A child is born without the greed
A child is born without the hate
Father sky did plant the seed
And mother earth did cultivate
He doesn't even know his name
He doesn't even know his name
He never even played the game
He doesn't even know the way

A child is born
Without a care
He doesn't know
What's out there
A child is born
Without a say
He doesn't even
Know the way
