i danced before i had two feet.
sang before i had a tongue.
i laughed before i had two eyes.
loved before my heart was young.
i swam before i had two hands
and held the distance in my toes.
before i heard the stars i knew
the wild compulsion of the rose.
i bore the fruits of many lies.
before i came into this day.
i knew before my grave was made,
the worms eat only death away
the worms eat only death away
i danced before i had two feet
i danced before i had two feet
i danced before i had two feet
i danced before i had two feet.
