Reborn

Well, I'm walking now into that rolling mist,
And now I've got to forget everything that I've learnt
Well, I can feel the dewdrops on this lovely meadow,
And all my bridges have been burned.

Well, the wind brings me greetings from our mother,
The mother nature to whom I have now returned
Well, I hear her voice after a long time,
And now I need her love, Her love which we have spurned.

Well, I can see those blue mountains in the horizon,
And I hear my brother sing in the trees
Well, I'm not so lonely anymore,
Now that the spirits are with me.

Well, I've said all I had to say,
And they left my soul shattered and torn
Well, I've seen all I was supposed to see,
And now at twenty seven I can say I was reborn.
