Nick Cave
III. Litany of Blooming
[Intro: Clara-Lane Lens]
I saw my mother’s face
A sun
A sun
[Verse 1: Denzil Delaere & Clara-Lane Lens]
I stood before the world to be
My first encounter, the light of she
A sun
A sun
[Verse 2: Denzil Delaere]
Amongst the billion
My mother knew
I was her child and
I was her child and
And so I grew
[Pre-Chorus: Denzil Delaere]
I was the child
Raised to be
I was the child
Raised to be
The world arranged itself around me
[Chorus: Clara-Lane Lens]
I saw my mother’s face
A sun
A sun
[Bridge: Denzil Delaere]
I felt the rain
It was tears
I felt the wind, it was a sigh
I stood before the world to be
Look at me
I am here
Her face printed upon
Upon the surface
I am here
I am here
I am here
[Outro: Clara-Lane Lens]
I saw my mother’s face
A sun
A sun
