Do you see the silver bird?
Can you hear it crying?
Soon enough,
it will transform
into a white swan flying.
Flying over golden trees;
flying over silver seas;
spreading love and bringing peace.
Seagulls sing, seagulls sing,
seagulls sing at sea;
and while you dream,
and while you dream,
my darling,
you are free.
White water glistens underneath.
Whole world listens
while you breathe
to the rhythm of swan’s wings.
White swan flying
higher, further
than it ever has.
Geysirs, mountains, waterfalls.
Glaciers, islands, volcanoes.
Sun on soft feather
as it lands
in perfect weather,
all old fear released.
Here I am.
Whether I fall or fly –
The center am I.
