Miracle Birth

The virgin of a carpenter was visited in the night
By an angel who told her that a baby was in sight
She had it in a manger and the wise men came with myrrh
And the angel chorus sang about the miracle birth
Miracle birth of the lamb of God
There was no hanky-panky but no one felt odd
Because the misery of life became the miracle of birth
And true or not disciples spread it all around the earth
Origin stories when the planets collide
And the chaos and the curse of the miracle birth
And then the existential quandary and the moral quagmire
Honey, I’m just glad you were born
I’m just glad you were born
So I don’t have to be here alone
A white elephant came to Queen Maya with a lotus
To tell her she was pregnant which I guess she hadn’t noticed
So she told it to her husband but her husband didn’t mind
‘Cause everybody knew the baby coming was divine
And the villagers rejoiced when the baby sprang forth
And he took seven steps towards the lotuses in the north
The wise men wrote it down and they put it in a book
The story of the Buddha and his miracle birth
Origin stories…
Zeus woke up with a horrible migraine
Like someone with a sword was hacking right into his brain
By noon it got so bad ow thud thud thud
That he asked Hephaestus to crack his skill
And out she sprang, a warrior full grown
Athena, Minerva, a goddess was born
Once in mortal fear Zeus had swallowed up her mom
But now everything was cool and everybody got along
