The circle of life swings around

Lifts one up but then brings then down.

Deep into the earth once more

Or perhaps scattered upon the shore.

Sickness creeps upon the body

With time it begins to decay

One young and strong full of life

Now the time has come, fate no longer held at bay.

The circle closes the eyes close to

And sorrow flows through those you love

As you drift away. Towards stars above.

Until the circle begins anew .
