From steady waters she waits,
Dreaming to fly and glide the skies;
She humbly sleeps,
Inside this fragile film of life.
Time came; she began to break free;
She began to live her dream.
With a body fitted to swim,
She swam as if she was flying.
She never gave up,
She believed in her dream;
And soon she didn’t notice,
She was out of the water soaring.
But as days pass by,
She began to miss something;
Though she found someone,
It soon left her all alone.
The poor thing just wondered,
Trying to find some answers;
Until she finally passed by,
This lagoon of clear serenity.
Seeing her reflection from the water,
She found her answer;
That the thing she’s longing for,
Is right where she was born.
