Sing “To life, to life, L'chiam”
When you feel - you're in strife
Fiddler on the Roof memories
Full of les - sons in life
Springs to mind the bigger picture
How could we - have been made
How did things come out of nothing
Help me think - b'fore I fade
Creation stories are around
Genesis - springs to mind
Aborig'nal and Egyptian
Common thoughts - of mankind
Some get hot under the collar
Which one is - authentic
Quoting heavily from the book
Which one now? - take your pick
Others say this is misleading
See, touch, taste - I'll be brief
Nothing else is there to matter
There's no scope - for belief
The right question we should posit
To the first - goes the 'why?'
Diff'rent people sure can answer
Where the 'how?' - can apply
Life that followed this creation
Surely a - miracle
What a complicated process
Astonished - I am still
Even now we pick the pieces
How mankind - came to be
A billion years in the making
Life began - we can see
We all are amazed when we can
Use the white - microscope
Our eyes start to watch the action
Embryo forms - there is hope!
Whether natural, assisted
This life has - come from God
People help out with the process
I cannot - but applaud
Something's happ'ning, what do I see?
Subdivides - once, again
This small ball is getting bigger
Needs to latch - shelter gain
From the special roles of women
One comes out - to the fore
Life is kept in incubator
Nurtured here - carried there
Due date is steadily coming
All the pain - sweat and tears!
Men can't comprehend the labour
Not in a - million years
Plain to see joy of the parents
Now what do - they do next?
Their lives will be changed forever
Get some sleep - for effect
Offspring's future is now a shared
Responsa - bility
They should reach their full potential
From perils - they should flee
Miracle daily continues
Night and day - year on year
Now their choices start to be made
One by one - such is clear
Last not least one must be grateful
To one God - almighty
Who has grace enough to answer
Those who are - on their knee

'Dal-misteru għarkupptejna
Ejja mela naduraw'
Hekk niftakar kont inkanta
Qabel 'l-festa nimmarċjaw
Dan x'misteru rrid insemmi?
L-ewwelnett, qabel it-tnejn
Dan kif ġiet fis-seħħ id-dinja
Meta qabel m'kien hemm xejn?
Stejjer għandna kemm irridu
L-iktar l'naf tal-Ġenesi
L-aboriġ'ni għandhom tagħhom
L-Eġizzjani u l-Mawri
Uħud minna ferm jitmasħnu
Liema waħda hi t-tassew
Jikkwotaw minn ktieb jew l-ieħor
Skont il-ktieb li jkunu flew
Oħrajn jgħidu l'kollha ħżiena
Miti, invenzjonijiet
Dak li jgħodd hu li jitkejjel
M'hemmx lok għal twemminijiet
Ngħid għalija mistoqsija
Trid tagħmilha fejn suppost
Ilgħaliex? tmur lil tal-ewwel
Kif? tmur lil tat-tieni post
Wara d-dinja ġiet il-ħajja
Dana żgur miraklu kbir
Proċess twil, diffiċli ħafna
Jien niskanta meta jsir
Għad ftit wisq li nistgħu nifhmu
Kif inħlaqna l-bnedmin
Qabel dan, fuq biljun sena
Kif mix-xejn il-ħajja bdiet
Imma żgur nibqgħu mistagħġba
Nosservaw il-fatt iseħħ
'Nħarsu taħt il-mikroskopju
Embrijun qiegħed ifeġġ
B'mezz naturali jew mgħejjun
Bniedem jagħti daqqa t'id
Biex ħlejqa t'Alla tinħoloq
Qalb miftuħa, 'kk Alla jrid
X'waħda din, dan x'qed jiġrilu
Jinqasam, għal darba tnejn
Isir ballun kollu tikek
Lest biex jaqbad, hemm għalfejn
Mara għandha rwol speċjali
Wieħed minnhom fost l-oħrajn
Inkubatur għal dil-ħajja
Ssostni, tmantni u ġġorr
Fl-aħħar waslet il-ġurnata
Meta kellu jsir il-ħlas
Tbatija kbira, jekk raġel
Żgur li qatt ma tajt dal-kas
Ġenituri dlonk ferħana
Ma jafux mnejn se jibdew
Ħajjithom sejra tinbidel
Rqad imnaqqas se jaraw
Responsabbiltà hekk tibda
Ħalli jikbru sew l-ulied
Isibu l-potenzjal tagħhom
Jegħlbu l-ilmijiet tal-wied
Dal-misteru hekk jitkompla
Dawk iż-żgħar isiru kbar
Għażliet tagħhom jibdew jagħmlu
Kull jum, sena, lejl u nhar
Fl-aħħar nett, imma mhux l-inqas
Hemm post għal ringrazzjament
Lil dak Alla, kbir, potenti
L'wieġeb għat-turufnament
