First verse:
My mother died without a sigh, just before she closed her eyes,
She told us, live well before you die.
Second verse:
I saw a moon that filled the sky, heard the wild spirits cry,
They told us, live well before you die.
Chorus:
We are a circle turning; a flowing river joins the sea.
You’ve got to be the person, you were born to be.
Born to be.
Third verse:
I read the books by men so wise, didn’t have to read between the lines,
They told us, live well before you die.
Fourth verse:
The Gods of war and the Gods of fire, The Gods of love and of desire.
Told us, live well before you die.
Chorus:
We are a circle turning; a flowing river joins the sea.
You’ve got to be the person, you were born to be.
Born to be.
Final verse:
My mother died without a sigh, just before she closed her eyes,
She told us, live well before you die.
She told us, live well before you die.
She told us, live well before you die.
