“And So It Was That You Were Born” is the first track of the eighth movement – entitled “Peace” – of Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Oratorio, released in 1991.
VIII: PEACE. Shanty sings to his new-born child, celebrating the wonder of being. In a sermon, the preacher sings of the frail magic of family life as Mary Dee and Shanty pledge a future with their child, together forever, celebrating a love that will now survive.

Lyrics
SHANTY
And so it was that you were born
Into this world one winter morning,
With a childish innocence you smiled at me
And I was born again.
BOY SOLO
Non nobis solum
Sed toti mundo
BOYS' CHOIR
Nati,
Mundo nati.
BOY SOLO
Toti mundo nati.
