Been born a human puts us right in the middle between sheer horror and nearly unbearable beauty. And although on a higher level this game has always already been played, we have a free will to choose ...

 

The Human Condition

 

This is such a strange place

No view seems to be true

Faithless bound to a fate

No one ever escapes

But we choose to choose our free will

 

Ignorance is bliss

It’s easy to believe yourself

And walk this world as if

No one ever said a word

 

So sure to be someone

Parted from the greater one

And always on the run

Fight and cry until you’re done

 

Illusion takes its toll

As egos grow to cancer all

Your mind is just a gift

You’re not the one who’s given it

 

We feel as if we were

Tumbling dice on god’s own court

 

Choice, no choice

Choose, choose your free

Will, your choice change your chances

Still you choose change happens at will

 

Short of breath - time runs fast

Body aches – no stop yet

Good and bad – lost and gone

Years come and go on by

 

Body aches – no stop yet

Good and bad – lost and gone

Short of breath - time runs fast

Years come and go on by

 

Good and bad – lost and gone

Short of breath - time runs fast

Body aches – no stop yet

Years come and go on by

 

Short of breath - time runs fast

body aches – no stop yet

good and bad – lost and gone

years come and go on by

 

Learn, love your self

Surrender and shine

Step out of the shade

 

Live, learn to love

Accept your grace

Beyond flesh and blood

 

We’re on the perception drive

Open up your sense of life

Don’t ever ask questions why

Reasoning will make you blind

 

Feel truth -breathe truth

 

Cause rules

A thousand hearts will break

Our death call, Oh why?

 

Father Dear mother

Why must I be?

 

In the halls of faith and fate

Way beyond our time and space

Lines are laid for heavens sake now     

 

Cause rules

A thousand hearts will break

Our death call, Oh why?

 

Father Dear mother

Why must I be?

 

Cause rules

Hearts break

Death calls - why?

 

Father Mother

Why must I be?

 

Higher minds than human kind

Weave beyond our narrow minds

Lines of fate for everyone’s life

 

We are all and all is one

Words can never grasp that one

You are me and I am you too

 

You, not you

Me, who are we

Now, not now

Here, where are we

Time, on time

Space, when are we

Up, upside

Down, here we are

 

Short of breath - time runs fast....

 

Feel for you – my heart aches

Suffering – endlessly

 

Mother Earth shrugs and dies

Love always holds your life

 

So sure to be someone

Parted from the greater one

And always on the run

Fight and cry until you’re done

 

Illusion takes its toll

As egos grow to cancer all

Your mind is just a gift

You’re not the one who’s given it

 

We feel as if we were

Tumbling dice on god’s own court

 

Maybe we will succeed

Find out what it’s about

And we’ll hold god’s plan

                                                In his own hands
