Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun. This whole world is cold, ever old; you are young like the sun. You walked the waters of the waking world at dawn; You grew the trees and meadowed lawns. You breathed the life into the lion and the lamb: You are first of all, and before all things, yet You are Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun. This whole world is cold, ever old; you are young like the sun. You love the evenings and You love the break of days; You love the way the sunlight stays. You love the dawn of time, of woman and of man: You are first of all, and before all things, yet You are Born today, just begun; born to shine like the sun. This whole world is cold, ever old; You are young like the sun.
