Born to bliss in ignorance
Basking in our innocence
Knowledge comes like Adam's guilt
Soon the walls of lies are built
What a joy when first we love
Soar on wings to Heaven above
'Til lies and flesh and discontent
Our tender hearts have cruelly rent
Joy and sorrow, love and rage
Each tomorrow marks a page
Hearty laughter, mournful sighs
These are the chapters of our lives
Lost in dark and tragedy
Dwelling on life's mystery
Out of the darkness into the light
The Spirit comes and sets me right
All alone without a friend
Wishing that my life might end
Eyes that care a tender touch
That say you love me very much
Joy and sorrow, love and rage
Each tomorrow marks a page
Hearty laughter, mournful sighs
These are the chapters of our lives
