In the beginning there was no light

There was no day and there was no night

There was no land and there was no sea

There was no geography

There was no faith, there was no doubt

There was not much to talk about

There was no sign of the human race

There was no time and there was no space

And then I was born

The sun came out and the birds were singing

That I was born

It's hard to believe it, but I've been told

My folks were young before they got old

A lovely girl who danced ‘til dawn

With a handsome man in a uniform

They took a loan, they bought a home

A beautiful baby girl was born

They gave her love, they gave her toys

But they wanted another, they wanted a boy

And then I was born

Kicking and screaming all through the night

Yes, I was born

Now who would care and who could know

About things that happened long ago?

All that really matters is me

The Roman Empire was brought to its knees

Shakespeare wrote some tragedies

And wars were fought, the Bomb was dropped

The forces of history could not be stopped

And then I was born

Angels came and they called my name

When I was born

Destined for success and fame

Yes, I was born

And things will never be the same

Since I was born

I was born
