Here, in the womb of existence
We are alive but know not how
Why from God do we feel distance
As each morn, to the sun we bow

Trapped within mind-body matrix
Here, in the womb of existence
We engage in inane mind tricks
Discontent with life's subsistence

We're here on our soul's insistence
That we may learn to grow in love
Here, in the womb of existence
Is our chance to be the peace dove

We're always, at each moment free
If we choose to end resistance
Life play then is a jamboree
Here, in the womb of existence
