In the womb we were formed
As dust and bone we began
We were brought to life uninformed
A blank slate, an empty soul 

As children we ran and ran and ran
Not a care in the world, free as a bird
No leash reining us in
Free to be who we wanted to be

As dust and bone we began
Breathed to life by the gentlest puff
As dust we return, to the earth that gave us birth

Dust and bones will fade away
But memories will remain
Our bodies are only temporary
To the earth we must return

We began as nothing, we leave as nothing
That’s the way of the world
Things will come, things will go
The world continues to turn

When the time comes we must answer the call
The call of nature, the call of death
The call of rot, the call of decay
Dust and bone will we return
All things fade away

Mother Nature is unstoppable
A force we must obey
Death will come to us some day

We must relinquish, must let go
Allow nature to run its course
As dust and bone we began
As dust and bone we end

Welcome back to the earth
Dust and bone will fade away
But memories will remain
To the earth we return
Ready it for rebirth
