In the Round

We are caught in the round
To the earth we are bound
We start in the womb and end up in the ground

From the ground we rise
from our lonely demise
and are born to a life, which is twice as wise

As the one before
Our eyes do see more
Our hearts are open and so is the door

Which leads to great wisdom—
the gift of man’s kingdom,
which helps us to know just where we come from

In the womb we begin
or is it the end?
The circle of time tends to transcend

Beyond the limits of ages
We’re released from our cages
and so begins the turning of pages

Of the book Divine
We see the sign
of the Creator’s purpose and Nature’s design

We are caught in the round
To the earth we are bound
We start in the womb and end up in the ground…
