Reborn

When I was younger,'bout a thousand years ago

I was a tiger and a warrior of the snow

Once born a creature that I hardly could describe

My lives were many and so many times I've died

The wonders that I've seen

Are fodder for a thousand dreams

I've touched so many lives

And looked at life through different eyes

You seem familiar, I've seen your soul before

Our first encounter, twenty-one or fifty-four

I am a traveller over space and over time

I've lived in bodies that didn't feel like mine

I've been on planets encircling distant suns

Magical landscapes where life had just begun

Our paths have crossed before,

A distant world, a foreign shore

We've shared a time and place

And occupied a common space

You feel familiar, I've shared your soul before

We've been connected, I want to know you more

Surely time has kept us apart

Though you've remained inside my heart

Four hundred years in solitude

Yet each day held something new

We've been alone so many times and still we've gotten through

I'd gladly be reborn each time anew

If I could spend eternity with you

And so my story

Doesn't seem to have an end

We are both riders on a journey here and then

If we are lucky, our lives will touch again

You, my companion, are my close and dearest friend

We'll get along just fine

In separate worlds in separate times

And we'll be born somewhere

As two souls in a body shared

You're so familiar, I've been your soul before

We lack as seperates, combined we're so much more

I've travelled memories to be reborn
