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
