I am just a boy in bubble
I am the baby with the babbling heart
From the moment I was born

Your first breath is taken
And into this world you are cast
You long for tomorrow
living each day as your last
No-one to turn too
No-one to blame

I am but an embryo All alone in the dark
Waiting for a hurricane To release me with a spark
