Look,I am on earth, with love endeared
My birth was registered in copper plate
Mother,father,love made lace by fear
Mother smiles yet as I suck she tears
Who shall I become, what is my fate
Look,I am on earth, oh love so dear
Father should be strong, for he must steer
Yet soon he will be gone, for heaven late
Mother,father,love made lace by fear
After that our tiny boat would veer
Mother weeps and mourns,nowhere is safe
Look,I am on earth, was love too dear?
In the paper on the wall, elves sneer
Mother cries because I break a plate
Mother,father,love made lace by fear
Here is Jesus on his cross,side pierced
Where will he lie now, has he no grave?
Look,we are on earth,was love too dear?
By the bed, ghosts wander through his place
Mother sleeps a little,then she wakes
Look,I am on earth, their love endured
Mother,father, sad love weeps your tears
