When I was younger,'bout a thousand years ago I was a tiger and a warrior of the snow Once born a creature that I hardly could describe My lives were many and so many times I've died
The wonders that I've seen Are fodder for a thousand dreams I've touched so many lives And looked at life through different eyes You seem familiar, I've seen your soul before Our first encounter, twenty-one or fifty-four
I am a traveller over space and over time I've lived in bodies that didn't feel like mine I've been on planets encircling distant suns Magical landscapes where life had just begun
Our paths have crossed before, A distant world, a foreign shore We've shared a time and place And occupied a common space You feel familiar, I've shared your soul before We've been connected, I want to know you more
Surely time has kept us apart Though you've remained inside my heart Four hundred years in solitude Yet each day held something new
We've been alone so many times and still we've gotten through
I'd gladly be reborn each time anew If I could spend eternity with you
And so my story Doesn't seem to have an end We are both riders on a journey here and then If we are lucky, our lives will touch again You, my companion, are my close and dearest friend
We'll get along just fine In separate worlds in separate times And we'll be born somewhere As two souls in a body shared You're so familiar, I've been your soul before We lack as seperates, combined we're so much more
