Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah I can feel the change Change in my bones I can see the glow Luminescence Too early to show But somehow I know Growing cell by cell Into something else Wow Am Only Human Only human Only human And I’m mother too now Mother too now Mother too now… Ah Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah I can hear the swell A new beat in my chest I can taste the blood Of life in my womb Too early to say Who’s the potter or clay Euphoria Is something else Wow Am Only Human (ooo) Only human Only human And I’m mother too now Mother too now Mother too now… Ah Ooo This is the beginning And I’m feeling like an alien Rushing through all my emotions So exciting terrifying Will I make the right decision What the hell is that I’m smelling? My insides are twisting turning With this life newly forming, See me laughing see me crying See me out of space I’m spinning, Far from earth but slowly falling Sh** got real and now I’m dealing, With the fact, I’m all up in my feelings And I’m so far, too far from perfect But I’m Only Human Only human Only human And a mother too now Mother too now Mother too now… Ah And I’m Only Human Only human Only human And I’m a mother too now Mother too now Mother too now…Ah Hey hey hey (Hey hey Hey) Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah Hey hey hey (Hey hey Hey) Hey hey hey Hey hey hey Ah

Afire 04:26

Afire Afire afire afiyi Afire afire fire Afire afire afiyi Afire afire fire (Spoken) “Rock a bye baby on the treetop When the wind blows, the cradle will rock When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall And down will come baby, cradle and all” One thing I wasn’t prepared for was the fierce love that would come with becoming a mother. So strong and all consuming. Love set me afire but I was fireproof. Afire afire afiyi Afire afire fire A flame bursts into existence Carrying your name across the universe Brave souls calling in the distance Who chose who? With all my fierceness I choose you I am the cradle, the rock, the wind, and the tree (Ah Ah ah) You can fall into me Fall into me I am the cradle, the rock, the wind, and the tree You can fall into me Fall into me Fall into me Fall into me my love (Spoken) You will go through the ring of fire And this love will ignite you A face glowing in the darkness Ferrying a likeness through the sonogram A pace set by two hearts boundless Who chose who? With all my fierceness I choose you I am the cradle, the rock, the wind, and the tree (Ah Ah ah) You can fall into me Fall into me I am the cradle, the rock, the wind, and the tree You can fall into me Fall into me Fall into me (Afire afire afiyi) Fall into me my love (Afire afire fire) Fall into me (Afire afire afiyi) Fall into me my love (Afire afire fire) I am the cradle, the rock, the wind and the tree, you can fall into me, fall into me I am the cradle, the rock, the wind and the tree, you can fall into me, fall into me I will catch you, I’ll protect you, I will nurture and adore you I’ll protect you, I will catch you, I will nurture and adore you Afire afire afiyi Afire afire

Hold my hand Pray In distress! In Distress! Emergency cesarean We can't stand our ground Blood pressure Loss of blood Hemorrhage Heart beat Low cry, sing Sh! Pray The induction is not working, balloon Risk of complications, mucus, the blood, how much? Here she is, almost there, I can see the head, push Where is my guide? Preeclampsia? What is going on? I don't know how to do this Tear, tear where? Cardiomyopathy, stitches, the placenta looks good, Stitches, bleeding after Pain, don't do too much The blood will show when you are doing too much Go, go, stop, stop, work out Oh sleep, sleep, nurse, breastfeeding Just, argh ooo, she is here, please cry, thank God The blood will show Heel prick, love, so tired, love, my blood, my heart Love hear me, can anyone hear me? Who is this, who am I? I am everything What is this? I did it, we did it, I didn't know how to do it Oh what have I done, who am I? Wow, elation, euphoria, please be okay The cord is cut Two to three times, three to four times I survived I am here, I am here She is here
