Lyrics

Can you tell me the story of my next life?
I am ready and eager to hear
Of a purposeful tale
one where courage overcomes fear

Will you paint me, as an artist, in the next life?
I would capture beauty for you
Playing with color and light
and all their delightful hues

If you shape me as a craftsman in the next life
I would sift with my hands, the earth
and make a cup out of clay
For my brother for when he thirsts

Oh, give me a voice in the next life!
I would sing like a mourning dove
Through all of my days
I would serenade those who need love

Could you grace me with a child in the next life?
I would teach them what I'd come to know
and encourage their dreams
and honor their wonder and hope

Will I find her again in the next life?
My lover, my example, my friend
The life that we built was magnificent 'till the end

Please let me go to the next life
To forget of eternity's bliss
So when I've lived, i'll return
to rediscover all of this
