White wings of a butterflyTake

White wings of a butterfly

Take me far away

So I can see the bustling cities

drift further and further away

Strength of all that's in me

Wake me up at dawn

there I pack my belongings 

in a bundle of rope and cloth

Sweet songs sing from the heavens

Guide me the best way

For happiness shine through me

I will not be lead astray

Beaming to each new comer

New soil of the land

under my feet and through my toes

Wisdom of the land

Free my feet from fleeting

but may they walk and skip and jump

Liberate me from this needing 

to run from those I love

I see it in my heart

I feel it through my eyes

Wonderous tales of the Earth 

waiting for me to arrive

Gazing over horizons 

The sky forever blue

Feel the heat of the sun 

kissing tropics through and through

the juice of native fruits

the chill at mountain sides

I will see the remarkable Earth

Leaving old beliefs behind.
