Perhaps we were fish
adrift in the sea
Perhaps we were tadpoles
when life was yet free
Perhaps we were geckos
no places to be
And perhaps we were sauropods
with brains like a pea
Perhaps we were mammoths
with long woolly coats
Perhaps we were sabers
who cut many throats
Perhaps we were wolves
with puppies to dote
And perhaps we were lemurs
with soft tails like rope
Up through the eons
our paths may have crossed
And there are none who can tell the memories we may have lost
Yet apart from all that
we live life anew
Perhaps we were fish
but now
I’m here, with You
