There is a place i call my own Where i can stand by the sea And look beyond the things i've known And dream that i might be free Like the birds above the tree Gliding gently on the breeze I wish that all my life I'd be without a care and flying free But life is not a distant sky Without a cloud without rain And I can never hope that I can travel on without pain Time goes swiftly on its way All too soon we've lost today I cannot wait for skies of blue or dream So long that life is through So life's a song that i must sing A gift of love i must share And when i see the joy it brings My spirits soar through the air Like that birds up in the sky Life has taught me how to fly For now i know what i can be And now my heart is flying free
