I Made You

from lifeless clay

I Made You

In my dreams

In my genius

You are the one work of promise

I made you

Then you made me

Complete

In my grace

In my prescience

I gave you life

To live in my presence

I made you

Then you made me

Complete

And if I gave you wings

And a voice that sings

I did it all just for me

And if I gave you love

It was over and above

All courtesy

In my search for pride and power

I reached for you every hour

I molded you from lifeless clay

One shady day

Then I touched your sightless eyes

They opened like the sunrise

I wrenched a life from the clay

That shady day

If we should ever reach the sun

I am the only one

Who touched it twice

And if I should ever die

You are the reason why

The one life could suffice
