I met the strangest man the other day

And he wept when he told me all about the day

That he met a stranger on the path one day

Who openly wept when a stranger stopped and said to him:

 

You will be

Reborn as me

You will see

The world through my eyes

 

And as he spoke

Something awoke

Our minds are yolked

Your thoughts are now mine

 

Please don't mind my tears it's just that

I've roamed lonely all these years searching a

New home before my bones get weary and I'm

Too old but here you are and now I'm telling you:

 

You will be

Reborn as me

You will see

The world through my eyes

 

And as he spoke

Something awoke

Our minds are yolked

Your thoughts are now mine

 

And now you know why you've met me

You must go on the journey

You must find another body

Before you die you'll become me

 

You will be me

​
