I Am

I am one who lives to live
I hear the world as if it all were a song
I see that sky and wish to soar through the azure
I say what I think and what I feel
I cry tears of mirth but none of sorrow
I am one who lives to live

I am a breaking soul
I want to run free again in the blossoming springtime
I need to feel what I felt before
I hope for freedom, for someone to hear my pleas
I fear a life where all there is, is nothing
I am a breaking soul

I am a growing life
I feel the caress of the wind and the simple glee in my heart
I try to remember what is good and what I love
I wonder still if there is something more, as I always am yearning for new emotions
I dream of happiness to exalt my soul
I am love and life; I live for its pure joy
