Soul

What is the Soul, have you ever thought? 
Or is it a mystery in which you are caught? 
We all have a Soul, we seem to know 
Let's realize the truth before it is time to go

 It is the Soul that makes me live 
But, is it the one that makes me forgive? 
What is the function of the Soul? 
What does it do to make me whole?
 
Body, mind, heart and Soul
Each has a specific role
The body moves and the mind does think 
The heart beats, and the Soul? I blink 

I have been taught that the Soul's in me 
It makes me who I am meant to be
It is with me when I live, till I die 
And then, I am told, it flies in the sky

Where does the Soul go and how? I wonder 
It goes to heaven, how? I ponder 
Everybody says, “We have a Soul” 
To search for it is now my goal

My eyes and nose I can touch and feel 
My mind, it wanders, my peace it does steal 
Aha! Now I know what my Soul does do 
It gives me life, I have got the clue 

The Soul is a power that gives me breath 
Without the Soul, there would be death 
It comes to me just as I am born
And it leaves me when life is gone 

Without the Soul, I would be dead 
I wouldn't talk, wouldn't eat bread 
My Soul is alive in every cell 
It makes me pray and ring the bell 

The Soul is energy, it gives me power 
It makes me grow tall like a tower 
But once it leaves, I can't even bend 
And my life story comes to an end 

What is the Soul? I stopped to think 
So many tales that make me blink
The truth by now I am sure I know 
It is Divine Life that makes me glow

What is our life's ultimate goal? 
To find the truth about the Soul
Before life is over, and it is time to die 
We must find the truth, not in ignorance lie 

Is my Soul different from yours? I think 
I question and try to find the link
Just like there is one power source in my house, I know 
That makes both gadgets work and the lights glow 

And so, there is just one life source 
It appears different, but it is one, of course! 
It is energy that creates all life 
In me, my parents, my kids, my wife 

Not just in human beings it is
In animals and plants, it's also this 
It is this Power that makes birds fly 
And everything alive on earth and sky 

What is this Power, the Soul that we call? 
What is this Power that is alive in us all? 
To discover the truth about the Soul 
Is our life's Ultimate Goal
 
The Soul is not mortal, it is Divine 
It is not yours, it is not mine
It is the Lord that lives in us
To realize this truth, we have missed the bus
