Before I Was Yours
Rock of all ages are you weathered and worn
Do your hands shake with rage at the child you bore
My minds wondering as it did before
Who was I before I was yours?

Dust before the dawn
Just before the dawn
Before I drew my first breath
Was I clutched to your chest

Calm before the storm
I was gone before the storm
Who am I
Who am I
If not yours

Did I inspire you to rise from your bed
To never slumber or sleep again
To give up your riches and all that you own
For the sake of love become poor

Dust before the dawn
Just before the dawn
Before I drew my first breath
Was I clutched to your chest
Calm before the storm
I was born into the storm
Who am I
Who am I
If not yours
