i was before i was

a poem about life..death..and eternity..

"i was before i was"
----------------------------------------

I've already died
but I can breathe
I've seen the otherside
where I came from beneath

Before the sun was born
I prepared for it's birth
before eternity was torn
there was a dream of earth

I watched the mountains grow
where kings now build thier kingdoms
I've never known of slaves
untill the creation of freedom

but I watched the sky as it cried
and the ground grew flowers
it occurred as I realized
there was weakness before power

if there was no life
death would be never
the day that I fall
I will rise again,forever...
