I'm free...

I wish...

I could spread my wings and fly,

Soar off the edge of a cliff,

Fly with the eagles,

Into the horizon.

And if one day my wings disappear,

And if I cease to soar,

Then I will fall to my death,

As birds have done before.

I wish...

I could dive into the ocean,

Swim with the whales,

Sing the dolphins song,

In the dark of the abyss.

And if one day I sufforcate,

And if I cease to sing,

To the ocean depths I go,

Wherever the tide will bring.

I wish...

I could run through the forest,

Deers at my sides,

Swift-footed as a fox,

Surrounded by twisted trees.

And if one day my feet slow,

And if I cease to run,

Let nature devour me,

As does the burning sun.

I wish...

I could survive in the arctic,

Safe and warm as a baby seal,

And fly through the water,

As flightless penguins do.

And if one day my body grows cold,

And if I cease to breath,

Slide my body through the snow,

Into the icy seas
