1972

While I was growing up in total seclusion
While the inside of my body came together
A book was being written with my design
You were there because I was born for you, no doubt

Nineteen seventy-two
Was the year I was discovered
Some say it was a blessing
Others say it was a curse
Not caring about all the risks
I stepped on shells without fear
Not caring about all the noise
Your attention was my beginning

One-nine-seven-two, even though I wasn't famous
Since then it was the domino effect
One-nine-seven-two was the year that decided
That you would know me and you would discover yourself

We all want to do good
There’s no pattern of faith
We all come to a crossroads
That’s where we all differentiate
The choices we make
Must have already happened
The day you were born
It wasn’t a coincidence, it’s clear

One-nine-seven-two, even though I wasn't famous
Since then it was the domino effect
One-nine-seven-two was the year that decided
That you would know me and you would discover yourself

In an incubator, I was woven
This wonder amazes me

(One-nine-seven-two) even though I wasn't famous
Since then it was the domino effect
One-nine-seven-two was the year that decided
That you would know me and you would discover yourself

One-nine-seven-two, even though I wasn't famous
Since then it was the domino effect
One-nine-seven-two, one-nine-seven-two
