Why are we given these lives
These feelings
These abilities to beWe could have become anything
Yet here we stand
on the edgeSilence rings
Our hearts beatOn three you ask
Memories flood my head
My hand tightens its grip
wondering if I'll goOn two we tense
Sweat cools in my palms
Wind brushes our hair
Mother is always looking out for usOn one we leave
We came in with a bang
Now we leave with oneWe return to our roots
At last we are in peace
