I was born to live and I live to give 
I'm the love that you feel, the life that lives real in you 
I was born to die and I live to cry 
I'm your tormented soul, blackness that holds to all you 

So think of me as history and I will leave to you all that you do 

Well I walked this earth, since woman gave birth 
I'm a seed that is sown, the harvest is grown in all of you 
But I've laid to waste, my future in haste 
I'm the crops that have failed 
The burden that's nailed to all you 

So think of me as history and I will leave to you all that you do 
So think of me as history and I will leave to you all that you do 
All love is holy, all love is holy, all love is holy 
Our love is holy 

I'm the cloud that bursts, I rain down for your thirst 
I'm the thunder you hear, the lightening that spears your night 
I'm the shadow that is cast, I project all your past 
I'm the children you burn, the cross that is turned by all you 

So think of me as history and I will leave to you all that you do
