0:28I am the world that hides
0:30The universal secret of all time
0:42Destruction of the empty spaces
0:45Is my one and only crime
0:55I've lived a thousand times
0:57I found out what it means to be believed
1:09The thoughts and images
1:11The unborn child that never was conceived
1:29When little worlds collide
1:31I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell
1:43And flashing memories
1:45Are cast into the never ending well
1:56The name that scorns the face
1:59The child that never sees the cause of man
2:10The deathly darkness that
2:12Belies the fate of those who never ran
2:21You got to believe me
2:27I'm talking to you
2:29Well I know it's hard for you
2:32To know the reason why
2:36And I know you'll understand
2:38More when it's time to die
2:42Don't believe the life you have
2:45Will be the only one
2:49You have to let your body sleep
2:51To let your soul live on
3:00I want you to listen
3:06I'm trying to get through
3:08Love has given life to you
3:11And now it's your concern
3:15Unseen eyes of inner life
3:17Will make your soul return
3:21Still I look but not to touch
3:24The seeds of life are sown
3:28Curtain of the future falls
3:30The secret stays unknown
4:13Just remember love is life
4:16And hate is living death
4:20Treat your life for what it's worth
4:22And live for every breath
4:26Looking back I've lived and learned
4:28But now I'm wondering
4:33Here I wait and only guess
4:35What this next life will bring
I am the world that hides The universal secret of all time Destruction of the empty spaces Is my one and only crime I've lived a thousand times I found out what it means to be believed The thoughts and images The unborn child that never was conceived When little worlds collide I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell And flashing memories Are cast into the never ending well The name that scorns the face The child that never sees the cause of man The deathly darkness that Belies the fate of those who never ran You got to believe me I'm talking to you Well I know it's hard for you To know the reason why And I know you'll understand More when it's time to die Don't believe the life you have Will be the only one You have to let your body sleep To let your soul live on I want you to listen I'm trying to get through Love has given life to you And now it's your concern Unseen eyes of inner life Will make your soul return Still I look but not to touch The seeds of life are sown Curtain of the future falls The secret stays unknown Just remember love is life And hate is living death Treat your life for what it's worth And live for every breath Looking back I've lived and learned But now I'm wondering Here I wait and only guess What this next life will bring
