Born At The Right Time Lyrics

Born At The Right Time lyrics

Down among the reeds and rushes

A baby boy was found

His eyes as
clear as centuries

His silky hair was brown



Never been
lonely

Never been lied to

Never had to scuffle in fear

Nothing denied to

Born at the instant

The church bells chime

And the whole world whispering

Born at the right time



Me
and my buddies we are travelling people

We like to go down to restaurant
row

Spend those euro-dollars

All the way from washington to
tokyo

I see them in the airport lounge

Upon their mother's
breast

They follow me with open eyes

Their uninvited guest



Never been lonely

Never been lied to

Never had to scuffle
in fear

Nothing denied to

Born at the instant

The church bells
chime

And the whole world whispering

Born at the right time



Too many people on the bus from the airport

Too many holes in
the crust of the earth

The planet groans

Every time it registers
another birth



But among the reeds and rushes

A baby girl was
found

Her eyes as clear as centuries

Her silky hair was brown



Never been lonely

Never been lied to

Never had to scuffle
in fear

Nothing denied to

Born at the instant

The church bells
chime

And the whole world whispering

Born at the right time
