Life - Interlude

We were born
We became a youth
And we grew old
Then from dust we return

We say our first word
We learn to read and write
And we learn a whole lot of things
Then all of the sudden one by one we forget

We are once a baby in our mother’s womb
We started to meet people
And we fall in love
Then we start to have our own family

We were in our mother’s arm
We start to develop and walk
And we learn to run
Then of to our Maker’s arm

We we’re innocent
We become corrupt
And go sinning
Then it will end

We laugh, we cry
We succeed and feel empty
And we search for peace and joy
Then we were whole as we meet thy creator
