The Reins of Life

Rise, rise and breathe
 Wind of life
 Let the waltz begin
 Ah, rise and breathe
 May your song quicken a new birth
 Rouse matter from her sleep
 Blow, on the silent world
 Blow, quicken a new birth
 Scatter on the silent world little seeds
 In the wine-dark oceans wide
 On a planet runnin' round a young sun
 One in the far Milky Way
 Remote part of the universe
 Some day, elemental buds began
 Suddenly, a new dance
 A new reign of cells did build their first walls
 Energy swarming
 DNA forming
 Now the seeds are planted
 Life is born
 In the turmoil of the Earth
 The first tiny forms become
 The first leaf on the tree of life
 Oxygen fills the atmosphere more and more
 Then soon, in this endless growth, behold
 The first breath, the first beating heart
 The first brain
 Led by a will to live on
 Rise and breathe
 Whole cosmos in a shell so thin
 Striving, to preserve their forms
 Spreading all over the world
 Now, a new era is born
 The Earth is conquered
 This is meant to be the Eden
 The original place
 The story and the heart
 The house and the household
 The panorama over the vastest sea
 The vision that revealed it all
 That voice that resounds within
 Is the grasp of mother nature
 Embraces us with sprouting flowers
 Caresses us with sweet warm honey
 And keeps us safe with her love
 Contemplate her
 Contemplate her, young life
 Bow to her might
 Don't fear it
 But gaze, stare, admire
 Feel that shiver coming on thy spine
 And prepare
 Let the journey begin
 Life, energy (energy flowing - a blooming flower)
 Wander, breathing endlessly (this fragile wonder - the reign of life)
 Rise, gentle wind (the microcosm - endless gyre)
 Now, may the waltz begin (the laws of existence - the reins of life)
