Reborn

They gave me a name

And a number to wear

They called me small

They called me nothing

They used my name

To make me disappear

But I had my friends

The ones no one could see

Dragons, faeries

And the whispering trees

They told me

It will be alright, dear one

It will be alright

Then one day

Thrown out by my mother

Drunk on her sorrow

I walked with my dog

Through the wind

And found a sign

It said Pow Wow

People from the sacred lands

Had come to dance

And I joined their song

An old native woman

Came to me

Pressed her finger

To my heart and said

"I give you a new name

It means Love

It means Giving

It is who you are

And what you will bring

To the world."

And one day

A king signed his name

And everything she said

Became true

That day

I was reborn

Through her vision

And his hand

Now I sing this song

For you

To tell you

Dreams come true

If you keep believing

Because I was reborn

To give love

To the world
