In every lifetime

(Verse 1) I’ve seen the pyramids rise and the empires fall, Walked through the smoke of a thousand forgotten halls. In every lifetime, a thread in the dark I’d hold, A whisper of your name that never grew old. (Pre-Chorus) They told me to forget, to let the past be dust, But my heart kept the map, though the compass lost its trust. Through the shifting sands and the turning of the years, I carried your memory through a million fears. (Chorus) We’ve loved in another age, in another skin, Through wars and silences, through storms that tore us in. No matter the century, no matter the veil of time, My soul knows yours—it’s been searching all this while. We cross the ages, hand in hand though we’re apart, You’re the echo in my breath, the beat inside my heart. (Verse 2) I wore silk in the East and rags in the cold North wind, Each life a puzzle piece, each death a door I’d find. I traced your silhouette in the frost on the glass, In the flicker of candlelight, I saw your face at last. (Bridge) Time is just a river, and we’re leaves on the tide, Carried back to each other, no matter where we’d hide. Not by luck, not by chance, but by a thread so thin, That binds us through the centuries, pulling us back in. (Chorus) We’ve loved in another age, in another skin, Through wars and silences, through storms that tore us in. No matter the century, no matter the veil of time, My soul knows yours—it’s been searching all this while. We cross the ages, hand in hand though we’re apart, You’re the echo in my breath, the beat inside my heart. (Outro) And when this life fades like the morning mist away, I’ll find you in the next, I know it, I can say. For love isn’t bound by clocks or the hands of time, It’s written in the stars, in every life of mine.
