[Chorus]
Unite, divide, serve term, survive, take birth, breathe air, cut cord
Stand up, find love, beget, protect, cherish, nurture, support
[Verse 1]
They say I began from twenty four weeks, or time of conception
But truth I exist before the big bang
My mother select, my past life forget – tabula rasa
Now pray see day light in spite of their lies
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 2]
My body is born as garment is worn – projection, like outer dress
Identify I – my ego disguised
As clothes are replaced when tattered and torn, existence unhindered
So body discard – continue unharmed
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Outro dialogue]
What I mean to say is think again if you are considering the procedure. For although that choice has become increasingly normalised in societies across the planet, it stems very much from a bodily concept of life. A belief that life exists only at a certain stage of physical maturity. What if the body is simply an outer dress for a pre-existing living being? And let’s not confuse this issue with the jurisdiction and judgementalism of religious groups. This has to do with something far much more universal. Are you a body with a soul or a soul with a body? And if the word ‘soul’ is a problem for you, who and/or what do you think you are?
Bhagavad gita Chapter 2, Verse 22 states
vāsāṃsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya
navāni gṛhṇāti naro’parāṇi
tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇā-
nyanyāni saṃyāti navāni dehī
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old worn-out ones, similarly, at the time of death the soul casts off its old body and enters a new one.
