I want to explore the world and make this life complete and full
I want to see the mountains, plains and deserts beautiful
I want to proudly show the thorns in my heels
Thinking of the tough times, an adrenaline rush I feel
I want to love whole heartedly all my dear ones
I want to share and care, and not have all the butter on my buns
I want to fly high and wish to fall then,
And then fly higher to test my strength again
I want friends and friendship, bitterness I want none
I want to keep strength of my character sticking to my guns
I want to achieve success but not by unscrupulous means
Sometimes I want to do that little jig , like a teen
Sometimes I want to climb a mountain and shout
To the winds I want to throw every doubt
I love the whole Universe, to all I want to tell
I want my voice to resound just like the sound of the church bell
I want to keep a part of my share for the hungry mouths
I don't care if they belong to North or South
I want to stand on the seashore looking at the horizon
I want to play with the waves and have all my fun
I want to apologise even when it's not my fault
I want to release all the fish that the fishermen have caught
I want to do bizarre things and in doing them feel no shame
As the wind will one day blow out the glowing flame
It's important to feel alive when you are living
As life is transient and we are just "Candles In The Wind".
