lyrics

Mother Earth gave birth to me
When I was thirty-two
Dark clouds rumbled and frowned above
When the golden rays broke through
 
And the speckled blue and beams of light
Flickered in the sand
And a single pair of footsteps shone
As I hovered above the land 

Refrain
Oh born again
You were the start and I was the end
Lightning strikes electrified a spirit lost and dead
For reasons inexplicable someone was born again
Oh born again
You were the start and I was the end
Oh born again, Oh born again 

A moment set before me
By a mysterious hidden hand
Thunder-clapped a heart to life
And set me there to stand 
On the path I’d floated over
Without connection to the earth
That led neatly to the time and place
Where I could meet my birth 

Refrain 

And I cried like a new-born
As I breathed and shed the pain
And walked along the rocky path
With purpose from the rain

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
