From life on earth till life after death
We feel the warmth of love
The icy bitterness of hatred
Joy and sadness fill the heart and mind
The spirit within dances with feeling

From life on earth till life after death
Celebration of family, friends and ourselves
In recollection of the lost souls
The dead and the living come together
Sharing beloved items, food and memories

From life on earth till life after death
The smell of incense fills the room
Becoming blind with the brightness of the papel picado
Feeling the burning sensation of the candles
Pictures of those who past cover the altars

From life on earth till life after death
We learn that life is precious
Death is peaceful yet violent
The two worlds collide into a cycle
Each can not be stopped, it is what it is

From life on earth till life after death
We live life to the fullest
Breathing in all that is good and bad
Leaving only the outcomes of our decisions
Changing the world and how it works

From life on earth till life after death
We fear death yet we are grateful
Letting out what we most desire
Leaving life peacefully, without regret
Ready for the spirit world
