The sun went down and the moon came out
On the day that you were born
The stars were more than we could count
On the day that you were born
On a morning that was old and new
On the day that you were born
The world opened up to welcome you
On the day that you were born
It's all mystery and motion
How the wheels of this world open
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born
The winds blew patterns through the trees
On the day that you were born
The waters wandered toward the sea
On the day that you were born
It's all mystery and motion
How the wheels of this world open
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born
The redbuds fade and bloom again
On the day that you were born
The birds knew where and they knew when
On the day that you were born
In the clouds and vapor and the quiet lakes
On the day that you were born
In the deepest currents and waves that break
On the day that you were born
It's all mystery and motion
How the wheels of this world open
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born
In the prayers and psalms that whisper through the trees
In the secret places only God can see
In the things we feel but cannot be said
We all hold hands and bow our heads
Seasons pass and seasons grow
On the day that you were born
There were things we'll never know
On the day that you were born
But love is all and love is true
On the day that you were born
And love will always welcome you
On the day that you were born
It's all mystery and motion
How the wheels of this world open
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born
It's all mystery and motion
How the wheels of this world open
There were gentle rains and summer storms
On the day that you were born
