[Instrumental] [Verse 1] The body fades, the soul does not, It slips back to the source it sought. To fields of light where it began, And starts again its chosen span. We choose the life we’ll step into, Sign what we’ll carry through and through. Accept that pain walks close to grace, Then we’re born—and lose the trace. [Instrumental] [Pre-Chorus] We ask ourselves why sorrow came, Not seeing we misnamed the frame. [Instrumental] [Chorus] We chose our lessons, every one, Booked this passage, signed and done. We wanted depth, we wanted growth, To learn through loss, to test our oath. So not “Why does this happen to me?” But “What did I come here to see?” [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I wished to meet this life upright, To bow to creation, clear and light. To grow, refine, to shape my core, To polish self a little more. To be as clear as earthly light, To carry warmth into the night. To teach by giving, not by trade, To practice truth in what I made. [Pre-Chorus 2] No bargain struck, no price to pay— Just presence, work, and honest way. [Instrumental] [Chorus (repeat)] We chose our lessons, every one, Booked this passage, signed and done. We wanted depth, we wanted growth, To learn through loss, to test our oath. So not “Why does this happen to me?” But “What did I come here to see?” [Instrumental] [Outro] The body ends, the soul moves on, The light remembers when we’re gone.
