about

I wrote this song the day after my sister gave birth to a baby girl. The previous day at the hospital was what inspired me and the process of writing Genesis went extremely fast. It is my personal favourite off of the EP.

lyrics

Your life starts at noon
The time where your mother cries.
Wake us up and let us go
Like Kings down to Bethlehem.

Call us waiting down the aisle.
We’ll be praying, waiting for a while.
You are there to meet the ends.
Genesis in our hands.

Hopes arise and follow through
A breeze through the wicked strife.
Now here you are, you make us see
It’s you we revolve around.

Call us waiting down the aisle.
We’ll be praying, waiting for a while.
You are there to meet the ends.
Genesis in our hands.
