Children of Life (A Call to Freedom)
Falling faster and further
from Eden's graces
with the division of cultures
and the war of races

the intolerant minds
with hateful tones
foster the damage
thrust on our home

From mountainous peaks
and deep vastness of seas,
a child's prayer was heard
and heartfelt pleas.

With birthing pangs
and groanings deep
"Set me free" she prays
as she bittery weeps.

Empty and barren
her deep sorrowful cries
Mother nature awakens
with new hope inside.

Greatness awaits her
to sons of men she calls
"Hear my voice oh men;
rise from your fall."

But her hope deferred,
and with sickness of heart
longing for freedom
she does her part

Her love and wisdom
Guide a new birth
In clouds we gather
upon this earth

But greed and corruption
kill and destroy
They steal our freedoms
and rob us of joy

But fulllfilled desire
has gifts to impart
"The tree of Life" revealed
in the depths of heart

Those who can hear
and believe in his name
forbid not the least of these
from becoming the same:

From excellence of character
to lifting veils and peace ...

to the white horse named "Spirit"
and the wedding feast.
