Analysis of Oh! my soul



Oh my soul
A gift to mankind
My will to choose
Right/wrong you are before i am
Your existence kickstart
The very day i was birth

Both good and evil
Spring forth from our pain
And eased by your charm
If trouble or quiet you skip like disc
You wonder my imagination and amazement
When you are switched of
We return to God
You are the strength of my mind
My enablement and enabler
My good soul, my good fruit
Black box of my mind
Recorder of life events
Root of men's choice
Brain behind human thoughts
You are creator's gift to mankind.
