Up from the ashes they came
Out of darkness and shadows
Into the light of new day
Creator breathed life into them
The sting of breath and new eyes
They opened their mouths for the first time
The first spoken words
And they call themselves the people of the flesh
Out of the ashes and given life
Out of darkness and into the light
Out of the ashes and into life
Into life
Out of the ashes and given life
Out of darkness and into the light
Out of the ashes and into life
Into life
Into life
They began to utter prayers of thanksgiving
They sang the first psalms
Mother Earth nurtured them with shelter and medicine
And so began the journey, the journey of living and dying
The joys and sorrows of life
Creator spoke to them in the wind
And never abandoned them
Never abandoned them
Never abandoned them
