In a hospital room a person is born
Screaming, undisciplined, it enters the world
What's ahead is unknown, what's behind is trivial
But it longs for its mother, and its father too
The world, how it changes in only an instant
And you will wonder what it was you did before
A new meaning for life and identity too
A heart filled with joy, but a soul troubled with doubt
Now you will know unconditional love
And now you will know the grief of concern
Now you will see how tragic the world is
But now you will long to improve it some way
For the stranger is now someone else's child
The future is now what your child will inherit
Your own problems are small, your mistakes unpardoned
Through the lens of a parent, one's self is unseen
The task is as great as its reward demands
For now you hold your world in your arms
The party is over, it's time to work
For in a hospital room, an adult is born
