blowing here and there, billowing as they please.
The leaf caught in an updraft floats and gently falls
Completely subjected to what the breeze wills.
My spirit, the rock it is, is dense through and through
Weighed down by concerns and matters of sullen gloom.
In the water I am sinking, while the light hearted soar
Through the air as magnificent condors
With the sunshine sparkling in their wake.
Still deeper and deeper do I fall,
Seeing things from a new darker perspective.
Because down here the sun seldom sees
The bitter struggles I face, the self-inflicted harm I cause
In my pitiful attempts to make inner peace

I envy all those spirits, as carefree as the wind,
blowing here and there, billowing as they please.
The leaf caught in an updraft floats and gently falls
Completely subjected to what the breeze wills.
My spirit, the rock it is, is dense through and through
Weighed down by concerns and matters of sullen gloom.
In the water I am sinking, while the light hearted soar
Through the air as magnificent condors
With the sunshine sparkling in their wake.
Still deeper and deeper do I fall,
Seeing things from a new darker perspective.
Because down here the sun seldom sees
The bitter struggles I face, the self-inflicted harm I cause
In my pitiful attempts to make inner peace
