eternal life

A woman screams, a baby cries.
The first ordeal is over.
It starts to walk and then it talks
The first step is over.

It is young, it grows up.
Learning starts to nourish it.
Make best friends and new enemies
But it doesn't matter a bit.

It feels new changes in the soul
And with mind and body.
It starts to hate, and then to love
Who knows this feeling? Somebody?

Another step has proceeded
And now it really can't trust
The lover that hurt it and said,
It wasn't right and just.

It starts once more to hate
It hurts itself as well
Control is lost, and love is lost
And then with a small step he fell.

Now is the time, it is the place
When the counsel decides its fate
All its good deeds, all the bad ones,
Send him to a sacred gate.

The light shines bright, it lights the path
Of a sacred eternal life,
It learns to love, and to say
That hope is the essence of life.

A woman screams, a baby cries
The second ordeal has passed
It starts to walk, and then to talk
The second step has passed.
