by: PassionworksI was an open-minded child
flying so high with wings so light
a fairy in the meadow
So suddenly the clouds appeared
The old man grabbed my little wings
with a deranged desire
So I will never be flying
flying above the ocean
And I will never stop hiding
the scars that left him smiling
Tearing my wings off forcibly
he took my faith and my belief
the innocence was left there
I wish I had told this long before
Mom could have sewn the wings he tore
with a golden wire
So I will never be flying
flying above the ocean
And I will never stop crying
why I was left there dying
Oh I've been trying to forget
the things that he could not regret
I hope his soul will burn in fire
And all these years I felt ashamed
Even though he's the one to blame
But it's too late he's passed away
But I'm still dreaming of flying
flying above the flowers
And I will never stop trying
to find the golden wire
I’m dreaming of flying
flying above the mountains
And I will never stop trying
to find the golden wire
