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

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

Mmm Mmm Mmm
Ah Ah
We ey oh
The amniotic fluid is borderline
Is it time to push?
It hurts
I feel like pooping
Sing, don't scream
Your body will know
Did the water break?
What is going on?
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
