A Natural Affair

(专辑： Songs From A Bell Tower - 2010)

I haven't learned the magic word please
Got no attitude, no enemies
I will not lie for I cannot speak
I won't thank you
Or the God you seek

I live only in the present tense
The remaining piece of evidence
Of your time left here on earth

I'm not concerned with your destiny
Nor how I'd feel should you abandon me
Nor legal justice lost on me
Who's been faithful, who's got custody
I could care less of your circumstance
But if given half a chance
I can prove my own self worth

Maybe I've no good excuse
To hold your body
For my selfish use
I'm at your mercy now
So please don't forget
That I'm one of you

Every mother's child
Everywhere
Born with a strong cry
Willing to share
A seed that grows wild
A natural affair
Every mother's child
Everywhere

I'm not hearing mixed messages
Or your great laws of percentages
Nor heads to tails of a balance sheet
When I find my lungs for enough to eat
I won't let you get thrown off the scent
My attentions are more immediate
At least ever since my birth

With neck securely in the noose
Just leave me here or cut me loose
Don't really care
Where you're heading to
But please keep me now
From turning blue

Every mother's child
Everywhere
Born with a strong cry
Willing to share
A seed that grows wild
A natural affair
Every mother's child

Out and on the table
With a few minutes to spare
Demanding of your mercy
Nothing less
Desperate for attention
And my first sweet gulp of air
Where is the strange place
And what is this emptiness?

Every mother's child...

Every mother's child
Everywhere
Born with a strong cry
Willing to share
A seed that grows wild
A natural affair
Every mother's child
Everywhere

Born with a strong cry
Willing to share
A seed that grows wild
A natural affair
Every mother's child
