The day shall come
the night will go
rules may clash
the law remains
shadow is made of light
and so is light
and so I rise
to pick my wings
were I to be told
of the day to come
and the next
and the next…
I will live still
a freed bird
without cares
beyond today
my father is the captain
no storm can sink my ship
no grave can hold my soul
the sky is all my own
