On the road of experience
I’m trying to find my own way
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I’m moving
Suddenly things stand still
I’m afraid ‘cause I think they always will

All alone in the universe
Sometimes that’s how it seems

Then I look in the centre
Suddenly everything’s clear
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams
