Written in Amsterdam, 2008.

lyrics

You're itching my hand, my little friend
And as you open up your wings
I see perfect symmetry
A vibrant complexion

I used to be afraid, but now
I silently gaze upon your charm
In awe I admire your strength
Yet so fragile you are

At times, I wondered if I could lock you up in a little cage
Always carry you around, no escape

But I let you free to go, free to be
I cannot make you stay endlessly
'cause you're meant to flutter and fly, embracing new life
Display your beauty
You're not mine

Now go if you want to
Discover the world
Enjoy the sweetness in the air
And the colours of God's care

At times, I worry about alluring flowers at the river side
A sudden interception of your flight

But I let you free....

Someday when you are around:
My arm still stretched out
My hand free
