This was inspired by the Walt Whitman (1819–1892) poem called Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking, which came out around 1858. This poem is about loss and love and life then death, and the rhythm that is given to life from the beginning that continues throughout.
Out of the Cradle Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's not a place
It's a yearning
It's not a race
It's a journey
It's not an act
It's attraction
It's not a style
It's an action
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a dream for the waking
It's a flower touched by flame
It's a gift for the giving
It's a power with a hundred names
[Chorus 1]
Surge of energy, spark of inspiration
The breath of love is electricity
Maybe time is a bird in flight
Endlessly mocking
Here we come out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking
[Verse 2]
It's a hand
That rocks the cradle
It's a motion
That swings the sky
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's method on the edge of madness
It's a balance on the edge of a knife
It's a smile on the edge of sadness
It's a dance on the edge of life
[Chorus 2]
Surge of energy, spark of inspiration
The breath of love is electricity
Here we come out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking
[Chorus 1]
Surge of energy, spark of inspiration
The breath of love is electricity
Maybe time is a bird in flight
Endlessly mocking
Here we come out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking
