The Life We Don'T Remember
A condensed gravity fills all that we’ve grown to become
From those aqueous worlds we’ve all had to succumb
New beings moulded by the delicate hand of mother nature
We complete her lottery of life for an unknown adventure
We were orphaned by the womb – to become stars
A far displacement from the destiny of who we truly are
All the lies and truths told to us as we learned to walk erect
We believe because it’s how the world needed us to act
As the noise from the outside grows louder against our courage
We start to ignore our internal dialogue of accumulated knowledge
And we lose it to the darkness of fear and hate we’re born into
The wisdom we’ll perhaps only rediscover at forty
