I came into this world
through my mother's pain
I came into this world
as a Living Word
I came into this world
like the prophets spoke to me
like the law was taught to me
like a slave to be set free
Now I ask
"Who are you looking for?"
I died into this world
like my mother's pain
the life-giving strain
of her labor pains
I rose back to this world
like an empty tomb
like my mother's womb
I rose into this world
in solidarity
the suffering to relieve
the suffering to believe
That I'll come back to this world
in everyone you see
so everyone you meet
treat them like you would treat me
and don't ask
"Who are you looking for?"
