Heaven's Children
Coming down as heaven's children,
homeless in this world, they have their crying.
Coming in this world of war,
and that they in the end will pay with dying.
Joining this world is an option,
and a very easy way of going;
But only him, who takes the pain,
his wakened soul will do the back home flying.
Heaven's children have forgotten
most of their true home, where is no time.
Heaven's children don't remember
their true home, and still they walk their line,
Hoping that the chosen line
will shelter them from pain and fate and war.
Coming home is that's about the saints have spoken,
and what they adore;
But only him, who seeks the truth,
his wakened soul in the end gets fine.
Knowing is the consciousness that
nothing is as real - but yourself as soul.
Knowing this you never will
afraid about the death of your life anymore.
Knowing that you never must
as child of heaven follow any line or goal.
Coming home is that's about the saints
have spoken and that what they adore.
Coming down as heaven's children,
homeless in this world, they have their crying.
Coming in this world of war,
and that they in the end will pay with dying.
Joining this world is an option
and a very easy way of going;
But only him, who takes the pain,
his wakened soul will do the back home flying.
