I saw my wings flying without me Running after it I sought for help Help that no one was eager to render joined in my pursuit a bird
Bird with flying wings As I attempted to board My wieght deprived me of my helper`s hand Am I to blame myself I wondered
Wonders which nature imposed on me Looking at the atmosphere I admire As I reside near the airport Admiration that never come through
Who will help me to get back my wings ? Oh ! As I realised that humans has no wings Or do I want to be the first man with wings ? Its a crazy world as I hanged
Pardon me for abandoning my legs Legs that could not walk fast as I desire Whom am I to blame ? If only my parents had wings as I wished to have one.
Why did the rain refused to touch me ? The intense heat of the sun am burnt As I wished for an ice cream without one Looking for my wings no joy abound
Without me my wings yet above Help no where to found All around me hands I saw As I needed support without a hand
Was it a dream or an imagination ? Her best the bird gave All efforts in vain Without delay I thanked my bird
For without my weight am lifted up But hope I must have For am still alive As I light my candle again.
