First Conversation - Cæcilie Norby

If you could speak

Would you describe where you’ve been

The world you come from?

Do the babies fall from stars above

Or are they chemical results of love?

Were you meant for me

As I was meant for you?

And could you tell us

Where you journey began

On a spirit planet?

Are you a sacred gift in flesh and blood

Carried by the thought of God?

Did He call for you

As He once called for me?

Your first reply

Is an everlasting smile

My breathing child

I am breathless by surprise

We get wiser through the brain

But somehow wiser through the pain

I just believe in you

As you believe in me

And how did you find us

Did you choose from a list

A «Parents Yellow Pages»?

Or did we meet as angels in a dream

Or were you just

The strongest in the stream

Did you reappear

From Heaven somewhere near?

Your first reply

Is an everlasting smile

My breathing child

I am breathless by surprise

We get wiser through the brain

But somehow wiser through the pain

I just believe in you

As you believe in me

Your precious little face

Holds that secret

But I don’t care

'Cause now you’re here

Your first reply

Is an everlasting smile

I won’t ask why

I am breathless by surprise

Now we get wiser through the brain

But somehow wiser through the pain

I just believe in you

I believe in you

If we believe at all
