_________________________________________________________________________
All earthy lives still have to die.
I believe that's what's meant to be
though man and science question why.
We celebrate the joys of life.
I believe that's what's meant to be -
conversely, we don’t welcome strife.
We grieve to see loved ones pass on.
I believe that's what's meant to be,
yet always there appears new dawn.
We praise the dawn; it’s a new day.
I believe that's what's meant to be
whether our days be bright or grey.
Day in, day out, our world’s turning
I believe that's what's meant to be;
for dreams to be – hearts keep yearning.
We’re born; we age; this earth we’ll leave
I believe that's what's meant to be,
but souls move on! And THIS I strongly believe!
