- The story of life (part one)
by Russell Tharp
I rise as the first rays of dawn Born from the primordial ooze
Where I lay dormant for a hundred million years
Slumbering peaceful like a baby floating
In the birth canal of the universe
I am evolution, I am revolution
I am all creation
I am desolation
I am born again
And every day, with every breath
I am born again
And if I seem different now
Than I did before
Well know that you are different too
Cause we are everchanging
The world is everchanging
And even the raging volcano
Turns to glistening stone
Cool and smooth to the touch
Etched by time and shaped with love
Just as fire turns to ash
And bone to dust
To be born again
And every day, with every dawn
We are born again
That does not mean that I don't love you
Because I do
And I always have
And I always will
But even love is everchanging
And we are everchanging
And if I miss you in the passing
Of fury into peace of mind
Don't despair, it's okay
I'll see you on the other side
And we are evolution, we are revolution
We are all creation
We are isolation
And though every night
We die a thousand deaths
With every broken heart we are laid to rest
To be born again
And every day, with every breath
We are born again
And every child's head laid lightly
On its mother's softly heaving breast
Crying in despair
At what is lost
And what is left
But in the end we all must rest
And give in to the moment
Where life fades gently into death
Only then can the stage be set
And we are evolution, we are revolution
We are all creation
We are continuation
And we are born again
And with every breath, every beating heart
We are born again
Forever born again
And I'll see you on the other side
Don't be late....
