| [00:14.40] |
On the day we're born our soul is placed inside a special spacesuit |
| [00:19.34] |
An amazing thing of flesh and bones, of fibers, tubes and cells |
| [00:25.01] |
Each one a different shape and size, and many different colors |
| [00:29.03] |
And it lets us move about the earth with other types of shells |
| [00:34.32] |
Astounding as it seems, this suit is built to last a lifetime |
| [00:38.78] |
Though the measure of a lifetime seems to change from soul to soul |
| [00:44.00] |
Some will last for many years and others but a moment |
| [00:48.92] |
But each suit has been assembled with a purpose and a goal |
| [00:57.87] |
The control box of this special suit's located in three places |
| [01:02.62] |
And at any given time there's always one that takes the lead |
| [01:07.25] |
Causing all the other parts to follow blindly without question |
| [01:12.39] |
As it tries to give the soul the things it needs |
| [01:16.79] |
The head or brain will analyze environmental input |
| [01:21.35] |
Using logic, rhyme and reason to devise the body's plan |
| [01:26.91] |
The groin, much on the other hand, will travel on its instinct |
| [01:32.30] |
Hooking one suit to another when it can |
| [01:37.57] |
But somewhere in the middle lies the greatest, grandest feature |
| [01:42.08] |
Often acting as the liaison, connecting part to part |
| [01:47.40] |
It's the auricle of destiny, the pulse of life, the center |
| [01:53.35] |
It's the thing we have in common called the heart |
| [01:56.67] |
The heart, which does so many things, is molded by experience |
| [02:10.28] |
It starts out very opened up and warm and soft and kind |
| [02:15.03] |
Depending on the circumstance, it stays that way or changes |
| [02:19.58] |
As it grapples with the groin and with the mind |
| [02:24.42] |
The mind might try to hide the heart, the shrewd homo-erectus |
| [02:28.52] |
Constructing extra layers of protection and defense |
| [02:34.24] |
But often this gets in the way and doesn't help connect us |
| [02:38.99] |
So the groin steps in to try and recompense |
| [02:44.27] |
But somewhere in the middle lies the greatest, grandest feature |
| [02:48.70] |
Often acting as the liaison, connecting part to part |
| [02:53.09] |
It's the auricle of destiny, the pulse of life, the center |
| [02:58.95] |
It's the thing we have in common called the heart |
| [03:10.58] |
On the day we die, though I'm not sure, it's open for discussion |
| [03:15.82] |
But I believe the spacesuit has fulfilled its Earthly chore |
| [03:20.93] |
Providing home and shelter for the fragile human spirit |
| [03:25.37] |
'Til the time when it's not needed any more |
| [03:30.57] |
Then the soul will find another suit, it's kind of like recycling |
| [03:35.78] |
And though the lessons of the mind and groin aren't lost along the route |
| [03:41.59] |
It's when we've learned to speak and listen firstly from the heart |
| [03:47.54] |
That our souls won't need these suits to move about |
| [03:53.78] |
Somewhere in the middle lies the greatest, grandest feature |
| [03:58.24] |
It's the auricle of destiny, connecting part to part |
| [04:03.62] |
No sweeter music ever came from any kind of organ |
| [04:10.04] |
As the one we have in common called the heart |
| [04:46.90] |
|
