You cut my wings and demanded not to fly
You pulled me back, insisted not to touch the sky
You fastened my lips, forced me nothing to say
You as well trapped me by jamming my way
...
Step into my dream, and see the world through eyes of mine
Let’s create a world, where everything is well and extremely fine
Come with me, let me take you somewhere,
...
Your act shall be an act, to admire and adore,
In this whole world, by each and every soul.
Shall not only in words, but also in deeds
Have desires to reach the acme, which lies there above.
...
I fight, fight, and fight, every day for my right,
Try hard each day not to lose my inner might.
Every day I encounter new challenges on my way,
It helps me become a stronger human by each passing day.
