I wonder...

I wonder what it feels like to be a human.
I wonder what a human looks like.
I wonder if I am a human at all.

I feel like a worm crawling day and night,
Crushed by some careless being now and then,
Shattered and destroyed.

It's been ages since I saw a rainbow, or felt the rain,
Walking down the damp path covered with the dewy mist.
I wonder what is it like to breathe.
Have I taken a breath in ages!
I'm curious what is it like to feel alive...

When I walk the long deserted road under the burning sun,
Are there any hands that long to shelter me.
When I toil and sweat so hard day in and day out,
Is there a heart that yearns to care for me.
When I feel devoid of life,
Is there a soul that aches to bring back life to my soul.

The innocent wish of a child to get hold of that distant beautiful star in the skies above,
Is there a love as pristine as this.
I wonder if there is a heart as tender as the fragrance of a flower,
I wonder if there'll ever be...

I wonder if there is a next-life,
I know there is a promise... 
I wonder if it'll ever be,
I know it has to be...
