[singer A] Dad, Mom, and the Divine hand Bestowed this breath upon the land A circle turning, start to end With work and love, our souls we mend May the cosmos see no shame In the light that bears our name We live in the last days Still, here we are Chosen by the hour Chosen by the light We are the chosen ones In the fading of the night [transition] [singer B] Dad, Mom, and the Lord God Gave us this life It goes on It passes And someday It will end Give this life beauty Give it labor Give it love So the Cosmos Will not be ashamed Of giving us life We live in the end times And still we are chosen Born for these difficult days Born with a soul that remembers We are the chosen ones We are the chosen ones Accept yourself as you are Let go, let go Forgive everyone Who hurt you Or should have hurt you You are the chosen ones [transition] [singer A] Before the breath, the soul did see The friends, the foes, the destiny The debts to pay, the wrongs to right In the silence of the pre-birth light We signed the pact, we chose the role To heal the fragments of the soul Do not resent the hand of fate Or parents' love, or ancient hate Was it easy for the mother's heart To know her child and then depart? Forgive the sting, let go the pain Release the shadows and the rain We live in the last days Still, here we are Chosen by the hour Chosen by the light We are the chosen ones In the fading of the night [melodic transition] [singer B] Before being born The soul already knows Its parents Its children Its enemies Its friends We agreed to this in advance There is no point In holding grudges Against yourself Against fate Against parents Against heaven Ask yourself Was it easy For your soul To play the role of your mother Knowing she would leave Her child behind We are the chosen ones We are the chosen ones Accept yourself as you are Let go, let go Cry out You may not show it But it will help It will make you lighter We are the chosen ones Do not forget To thank the heavens For the chance to live
