I danced before I had two feet. Sang before I had a tongue. I laughed before I had two eyes. Loved before my heart was young. I swam before I had two hands and held the distance in my toes. Before I heard the stars I knew the wild compulsion of the rose. I bore the fruits of many lies. Before I came into this day. I knew before my grave was made, the worms eat only death away the worms eat only death away I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet I danced before I had two feet.
