“Here again, I follow a light
Because I want to end that night
Because I want to stop the hunger
Because I want to be much stronger
Because, all I ever dreamt to be
Is living a life of boredom free
I find my mind playing a game
To seduce a divine cloud of same
Ones that rain only on meadows
Those who bare no signs of sorrows
I sing and laugh, I dance and leap
I tell her stories of a past too deep
I study her well to know the way
To make her happy, to make her stay
But when she rains and I realize
That she is not what she once was
And that my land did not grow
A plant of love that I don’t know
I miss the sun, I miss the wind
And there this cloud’s story ends
No more dances, no more songs
There I count all her wrongs
“You have to leave,” I tell her why
she has to leave to free my sky
for other clouds, big and divine
will never wait nor stand in line
There again, I follow a light
Because I want to end that night
Because I want to stop the hunger
Because I want to be much stronger
Because, all I ever dreamt to be
Is living a life of boredom free”

“You insist it will end like others had. From yourself, for me you fear.
You forget that I am different. Please trust the luck that brought us here.
I say, give it a try, give it a chance; change your mind and spread your wing.
I am too dear, you explain. Flying with you is a risky fling.
Chances you gave to nameless faces showed you life in black and white.
The light I see when I see your face makes me certain that I am right.
Never the same again. I took the oath to wait.
You would come around, I promised. You just need time.
Nothing is the same with that oath to wait.
You would come around, now or later... never too late.”
