I wanna be as free as a bird
Elena Slepneva Apr 2017
I wanna be as free as a bird,
All I need is to say one shy word,
Flying up high in the sky.
If you're brave, you can try.

Let your wings be straitened,
Catch the wind into your net.
Be like river's stormy stream,
Run away towards your dream.

When your thoughts want aspire to clouds,
And the soul tries to get rid of chains,
Don't think about those noisy crowds,
Who are playing their boring games.

Let your wings be straitened,
Catch the wind into your net.
Be like river's stormy stream,
Run away towards your dream.

You have all time of the world.
So you should not follow the rules,
They exterminate your identity,
Make people be like a flock of fools.

But then a dream comes to the end.
Starts another interminable day.
You rush down from the sky to the land.
And a rainbow becomes dark and grey.

Let your wings be straitened,
Catch the wind into your net.
Be like river's stormy stream,
Run away towards your dream.

If you wanna be as free as a bird,
All you need is say only one word,
Flying up high in the sky.
If you're brave, you can try.

The maker
Elena Slepneva Apr 2017
You’ve come in this world with wildly opened eyes.
And your heart was innocent and pure.
You haven’t known about the existence of lies.
At that time life has simple and secure.

So be the maker of your dream,
Give a sense of what you feel.
Someone'll hear the echo of your scream,
Come and help to make it real.

But one day grey clouds obscured the sky,
And the world plunged into the darkness.
People showed their vices, became ugly and sly,
So your soul could feel only a blankness.

Just be the maker of your dream,
Give a sense of what you feel.
Someone'll hear the echo of your scream,
Come and help to make it real.

Once abandoned to despair,
Your’d never forget that attempt.
But it’ll only make you a better player
And will prepare for the future failures.

Just be the maker of your dream,
Give a sense of what you feel.
Someone'll hear the echo of your scream,
Come and help to make it real.

Be the maker of your dream,
Just go and make it real…

— The End —
