I am God's child, ugly and beautiful, wayward and dutiful, free to run wild, I am God's child. I am God's joke, played for the sport in me, laughter's retort in me, born to provoke, I am God's joke. I am God's cross, fruit of creation's pain, blessing and fearful bane, proof, paradox, I am God's cross. I am God's sign: hopeful humanity touched with divinity, learning to shine, I am God's sign.
