Analysis of Inspired.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
You gave me a voice
And oh did it bellow
You gave me a hand
Oh my did it work
You gave me a backbone
And oh did it break
You gave me a heart
Oh my did it tremble
You gave me an eye
And oh did it look
You gave me a friend
Oh my what a hook
You gave me a soul
And oh was it sweet
You gave me a guide
Oh my did it beam
You gave me a God
And oh did it birth
