My Old Soul

My Old Soul

My soul was created when man was new

Two hundred thousand years ago

Born between the lightness of Heaven

And the Eternal fires of Hell

I knew the best and the worst of each

I went from person to person

Billions and billions and billions

Sharing my knowledge with all

But I was sure that those who followed me

They would know the difference

They would know right from wrong

And they would choose accordingly

Time went by and man slowly changed

Forgetting which traits came from where

Ignoring everything I had to teach

My soul was created when man was new

And man has learned so much

But he has forgotten so much more
