11. The Soul's Journey

[Part I - Dawn]
As the sun begins to rise above the horizon
A new soul descends to the Earth
As the elder generation sails into the sky
The world is blessed with yet another birth

<Soprano>
Awaken my child and you will feel
A world that's filled with beauty
Please my child just open your eyes
Your new environment you will see

The sights and sounds
The world around me
Flicker in my eyes
The things I learn
The pains and pleasures
Echoed in my cries

<Soprano>
Sleep my child and rest yourself for the long road ahead
Many dangers and perils await you
We'll overcome the obstacles that will stand in your way
Together, we will make it through

[Part II - Day]
I feel a change within me
I wish to reach out and touch
I desire that which cannot be attained
Nothing will ever be too much

Fighting my internal demons
I am driven to excess
Plagued by my anxiety
Too many issues to address

Losing control of my desires
Self-destructive hedonist
Within my heart lit several fires
By the devil my heart is kissed

A complete mental blitz
It's time to clean up my act
Yet no matter how hard I try
By desire I am once again attacked

[Part III - Dusk]
Lying face down in the grass
I feel a sullen breeze
Encased within these walls of glass
My heart begins to freeze

I crawl to the side of the river
I see my own reflection
I drink deeply from Mother Nature's waters
And I feel her protection

I have made mistakes in life
These crimes I cannot redeem
But I have learned now from my failures
And I seek the ultimate dream

The time has come to pass on down
The things I've learned throughout this life
If we could only learn from one another
We could avoid so much strife

[Part IV - Night]
I walk my final steps on this old and weary road
I sense my journey coming to an end
Soon I can put this whole life behind me
And towards the heavens I shall ascend

<Soprano>
Come towards the light my child
Rest your tired and weary feet
Bask in serenity and bliss
For soon we shall once again meet

At last I lay down for my final rest
As I prepare for my journey to the skies
An angel's voice calls out to me
And for one last time I close my eyes
