To Not Be Here (Haigen's Song)
I can still remember before I was born
Angels sat beside me on a summer morn
Though it now is cloudy, somewhere I recall
They told me I could choose to be anyone at all.
I looked out from the heavens as far as I could see
At all the many wonders, so much I could be
Would I be the wisest, richest, or a knight
Or find a world of treasure of another kind.
I must have looked forever and could not make a choice
Until I heard the whisper of a single voice
Singing soft and sweetly beside a gentle stream
I took it for a calling, what else could it mean?
This is my decision, it is very clear
I will have the simple, take my comfort there
I'll not be a warrior, I'll not be a king
Give me words and music, I will gladly sing.
When I am uncertain, when I am unsure
I try to remember what I bargained for
I could have had it easy, life without a care,
But it would not have suited me to not be here.
