An Egg

Music by Ada Bird Wolfe & Jamieson Trotter, Lyrics by Ada Bird Wolfe

An egg
The beginning is an egg
Such an ordinary thing
Not yet song and not yet wing

An egg
Perfect oval little egg
Faintly warm within the hand
Faintly rocking on the sand

Egg, Infinity
Packed within a shell
Possibility
What will come we cannot tell

The shell
starts to crack from life within
Beaching from a tiny sea
A life, anew, an egg
New Year, an egg
New Year, an egg
New Year, an egg
