to soar high in the sky
oh how he wished to be the horses
to race across the earth
oh how he wished to be the sharks
to swim the deepest oceans
oh how he wished to be the clouds

oh how he wished to be the wind
to see and touch the whole wide world
oh how he wished to be the snow
to fall delicate and deadly
oh how he wished to be the waves
to crash and break and rise high again
oh how he wished
to be and to feel
everything
