I was found in the dirt of love and hope Washed in joy soon this boy had grown And from the heavy stone of youth a man was called And from the rough of village life I built a home To love the children red and blue I'd call my own There is no life like that I've known The stone of youth is cut and shined and finely honed The light of age it fades and bends before the glass As the gems of lives and deaths of ages past Wait to be reborn again from living stone Every step of life may the wheel of time turn Every gem beneath the glass a lesson learned And as my children polished sapphires of their own I saw that gems cannot be kept but only loaned Though we may grind in love and hold them for moments torn Even the brightest ruby lights will soon be gone © transcript Emily Beynon Now I leave the reds and blues for life alone I bear the orange of temple prayer and find a home In the deeds of Dharma truth left us on loan I find the path back to the earth is set in stone I will find my way back to the earth alone I will be found again by life and finally home I will be found again by life and finally home Oh no there is no life like that I've known The gem of youth is cut and shined and finely honed The light of age it fades and bends before the glass As the gems of lives and deaths of ages past Wait to be reborn again from living stone We wait to be reborn again from living stone There is no life
