We Came
We Came Here To Live
From The Womb Of Human Space
Floating In A Pool Of Water
We Broke Through
Landing On Earth
Hearing Sounds Of Life
Throbing In Our Hearts
Feeling In Our Souls
We Came To Be Loved
To Be Cuddled And Nurtured
Protected And Fed
To Grow
We Came With Eyes
To See Beyond Sight
With Thoughts
To Be The Maestro
Of Our Existence
With Passion To Express
Our Feelings And Be Fulfilled
We Did Not Come Here To Die
To Be Lost
In A Chamber Of Horrors
Looking For An Exit
Spending Our Days And Nights
Hiding From The Creature
With Fangs To Bite Us
Running From The Bush Fire
Avoiding An Avalanche
Of Dirt And Rocks
To Bury Us
To Stop Us
From Reaching Higher Heights
We Did Not Come Here
To Drown In Fear
We Came To Celebrate
Life Under The Sun
