Once upon a wish
Once upon a wish a dream came true
It was one from near the top of my list
A dream that I clearly hadn't thought through
There's more I'd like to have than I wished.
It's nothing to do with money
And it's nothing to do with fancy goods
I don't crave a fancy £10,000 car
And I don't want shoes, shirts or hoods.
I just want to be me if I'm honest
There's nothing wrong with the shoes on my feet
The jeans that I wear are functional
Don't need fancy clothes to feel complete.
My wish is for fresh morning air
My wish is for clear blue skies
I wish every day that when I wake up
Nature will tantalize my eyes.
I want to feel a breeze of sunshine
I want to stand out in the rain
I really don't mind if its snow or hail
I just want to be me again.
Me, not a slave to society
Me, not a slave to my work
I want to be me and free from anxiety
No where for life's stresses to lurk.
All I want is my Butterfly
All I want is to be seen
I only want the best out of life
Sick to death of a life so obscene.
What more can life offer freely?
What more does one really need?
I'm sick to death of Edinburgh life
It's fuelled with anger and greed.
Whisk me out to the country
Whisk me out to the sea
One day I will reach the top of my list
That's the day I will finally feel free...
