Tiny wings, set me free

Let me fly away

In this world, I believed

I would never stray

But the nights have moved on

Since the day I was gone

My last words have been said,

 

"Take me home!

Let me go!

I won't roam from my fears.

Don't look back!

Just move on,

Stay on track

If you want to be free."

 

Many years have gone by

Since the carefree air

Disappeared from a lie

With the words "they care."

The nights keep moving on

Do they care that I'm gone?

My last words have been said,

 

"Take me home!

Let me go!

I won't roam from my fears.

Time to change from my ways.

It is strange

But I want to be free."

 

Run away

While you still have the chance

Maybe then

We'll awaken from this trance

 

"Take me home

Let me go

I won't roam from my fears

Save yourself

And your dreams

From this game

Maybe then we'll be free."
