Close your eyes and forget All the lost ones along the way Sleep peacefully, in the midst of the meadow My forehead adorned with a wreath of flowers Blooming prettily under the sunlight A locked chest, behind glass doors I stay back, closed off from the world In my clasped hands, Lies my key, alone and firm Open this lock quickly, and free me from my chains Into the dizzying, enchanting creation Of people's hopes and dreams Remember the promise I had bestowed upon you That once I could fly, you'll look back, Watching me from the sky And finally let me spread my wings, and take flight.
