Now Nobody’s daughter nobody’s child.



I am the sun, the moon and the stars,
I am Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.
I am the rain, the wind and the snow,
I am the flowers and the trees that grow.
I am the hidden, the unseen and the beguiled.           Now i'm nobody’s daughter,
Nobody’s child.

I am the darkness, the hue and the light,
I am angel, devil and sprite.
I am the lonely, the loved and the friend,
I am the beginning, the middle and the end.
I am the playful, the tame and the wild.
Now i’m nobody’s daughter,
Nobody’s child.

I am the snare, the hook and the bait,
I am honesty, liar and fate.
I am the voice, the silence and the din,
I am the church, the priest and the sin.
I am the wanted, the shunned and reviled,
Now i’m nobody’s daughter,
Nobody’s child.
