This is where it all began,

The civilization of man,

The stones, the walls and the trees,

The sunny clouds and distant breeze,

This is where it all got started,

The sky, the water, the uncharted,

This is where the crow and eagle fly,

The winding roads and blissful nights,

This is where the weather changes,

The storms, the lightning and hail revenges,

This is the place of many, yet few

The place of rest and solitude,

This is where wars are won and lost,

The place where waves roll and toss,

This is where the blood veins flow,

The place of pearl, white and snow,

This is where I may roam,

This is the place I call home.

My mind wandering leads me here,
Enthralled I often sit in moments of fear,
The World we know is failing fast, failing to last,
The end is near laments the preacher, THE END IS NEAR!

O' why must we care for things we cannot govern,
Governments and politics, war, pain and sorrow,
Ailments of the human heart, the ways of man are like a shadow,
Earthquakes, tsunamis, drought, the sorrows of man; the imperfect fallout,

My mind does often wonder, why must we be so somber?
The end will come when the end will want it,
There is no day, but the day in which we live,
The ways of weary men are laced with their trepidation,

We mustn't worry says the man in doubt,
We mustn't sin says the meek, says the Christian,
We must be true to self, true to our ways says the World,
We must be lively, and filled with laughter says the Drunkard,

The days they come and pass,
Mere drops we are of ocean waters,
Yet, the Spirit inside, springs hope eternal, eternal hopes of Life!
Why? why? why?

I'm all alone, alone, alone to write me,
I'm all alone, alone to invite me,
I'm all alone, alone to send me emails,
I'm all alone,  alone to lend myself ear,

You're ALL together; together in places,
You're ALL together, together you leave traces,
You're ALL together, together you have parties,
You're ALL together, together you are,

I'm all alone, alone in this home,
I'm all alone, alone is MY kingdom,
I'm all alone, alone like my thoughts,
I'm all alone, alone to hear myself talk,

You're ALL together, together you are united,
You're ALL together, together you are invited,
You're ALL together, together you are MADE happy,
You're ALL together, together you sit there laughing,

I'm still alone, alone, and I'm rich,
I'm still alone, alone, and I'm satisfied,
I'm still alone, alone, and I'm delivered,
I'm still alone, alone, and I'm....
