Confined to the womb, living – yet alone As we came, so shall we go To this world we enter, our accounts empty with souls full of hope We’re small and weak, then we’re big and strong We’re lonely and afraid, but we become loved and brave Without direction, without purpose, we find our way As we came, now we are going – but in reverse, it’s certainly a curse: Our accounts are empty, the optimism fades Now are we small and weak, though we were strong Once we were loved, but now we’re lonely and afraid Without direction, without purpose, we have lost our way As we came, so have we gone Confined to the grave, we die alone

Confined
Confined to the womb, living – yet alone As we came, so shall we go To this world we enter, our accounts empty with souls full of hope We’re small and weak, then we’re big and strong We’re lonely and afraid, but we become loved and brave Without direction, without purpose, we find our way As we came, now we are going – but in reverse, it’s certainly a curse: Our accounts are empty, the optimism fades Now are we small and weak, though we were strong Once we were loved, but now we’re lonely and afraid Without direction, without purpose, we have lost our way As we came, so have we gone Confined to the grave, we die alone
