03_Upton, Jason_Dear John

Do you remember when our mothers met?
Mama told me that they left
Was that a sign for us or a sign for them?
Unborn babies testify
Carried between the earth and sky
Sons of eternity in time

We were born
Born of Spirit
Born of water
Born of blood
Born, child of freedom
Child of promise
Child of God

Do you remember what our fathers spoke?
Silence broke down on our knees
There was power in their prayer
Remember what they said?
They said we are the children of their dreams
Words of acceptance beneath the sky
Visions of heaven filled our eyes

We were born
Born of Spirit
Born of water
Born of blood
Born, child of freedom, oh yeah
Child of promise
Child of God

We were born, yeah, yeah
Born, born of Spirit
Born of water
Born of blood
We were born, yeah, yeah
Born, child of freedom, oh yeah
Child of promise
Child of God

And do you remember how it made us feel
To be traded for a foolish life?
I was the song that danced
You were the song that healed
Neither song could satisfy
Wisdom was fighting for her life
And we, we were the children of our time, oh

We were born
Born of Spirit
Born of water
Born of blood
We were born, yeah, yeah
Born, child of freedom, oh yeah
Child of promise
You're a child of God, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Born, born of Spirit, yeah, yeah
Born of water
Born of blood
We were born, yeah, yeah
Born, child of freedom, oh yeah
Child of promise
