All the dirt defining me
Oh, and suddenly, here I stand
So rich and prosperous, no money in hand
So liberated, free and able to stand
On my own two feet in a foreign land
Strengthened by hope, spirit and grand
Ideas about life
Oh, here I stand
What if I'd known that this would be me
To leave without doubt, crossing the sea
To places, people, lessons to be
Stored in heart, yet challenged to the
Innermost soul by those who see
Beyond all the walls, nowhere to flee
All of the dirt defining me
Washed away by crossing the sea
Oh, and suddenly, I stand strong
Knowing, feeling through all the wrong
Somewhere inside I knew all along
It was all in the script
I knew what was on
Oh, here I stand, just knowing it all
Seeing it clearly, hearing the call
I know what to do, and maybe I'll fall
Stumble, hurt, cripple and crawl
But here I stand and I'm not in fear
I know it, feel it, it's all in there
Oh, let me know if you also hear
And we'll speak in silence
Oh, my dear
All and nothing will be everywhere
And yet, as we know
It's nowhere, nowhere
Here I stand and I am free
I don't know how it happened, I just know how to be
My inside is sparkling precisely like the
Sun when it gently touches the sea
I've seen it now, I'm done with the
Madness of minds, I'll leave now you see
To sit quiet, calmly under a tree
And enjoy this light that shines within me
You can join if you want, if you promise that we
Don't disturb this beauty that's meant to be
I'm standing still in what doesn't end
I see it all and I wonder when
This crazy change will happen to them
A hand hugs mine and gently send
A silent message:
"We made it, my friend."
