Geboorte

You were born to live
It's given to you for free
You have a mouth to suck
And a bib for spitting
You have two hands to grab
Two cheeks to pinch
A throat to swallow
And a belly to fatten
You were born to grow
You're in the boat and you have to row
Two feet to walk
You just need to buy a pair of shoes
You have a nose to blow
You have ears to ring
You have teeth to bite
And pants to wear out
You were born to learn
Go to school a thousand times
And sentences to say
And problems to explain
You have songs to sing
You have a rope to jump in
Buy a school bag
And walk nicely in line
You were born to get there
Like we say, make a career
For that, you have to study
Get fully qualified
Strengthen your muscles with sports
So you can work well later
The principles will guide you
So you don't have to think
You were born to marry
To build a little nest
With a lawn to mow
And a love to make out with
And sleep and dream together
Let the children come now
Live together for a lifetime
In a house full of children's songs
You were born to die
To quietly decay
To see your children grow up
And slowly wither away
To sit in your armchair dreaming
And see death approaching
And drift away in sleep
And die peacefully
