Adonis (Ali Ahmad Said) - The Beginning of Speech lyrics

The child I was came to me once, a strange face He said nothing We walked each of us glancing at the other in silence, our steps a strange river running in between We were brought together by good manners and these sheets now flying in the wind then we split, a forest written by earth watered by the seasons' change. Child who once was, come forth— What brings us together now, and what do we have to say?
