someone had my spirit before me
i almost remember choosing this body
for another i had used
became old and i refused
to be finished on the land
“send me back” i did command
So I came back here to Earth –
had to go through another birth
and all the trials of being a child;
had to grow independent;
had to cultivate a conscience;
had to completely lose my mind
to remember body is not “i”
and here I sit today
telling the story of the way
I returned to the land
to finish what I had planned.
I get closer everyday
I’m safe with God leading the way
and when I’m finished what I need to do
when I’ve become who I wanted to
I will die once and for all,
It’ll be goodbye my fellow souls,
I’ll hold a party in the sky
For everyone who helped me fly
and to those who made me crawl,
I will give thanks to most of all.
