If I could travel past the horizon
If I could sail across the seas
I would go everywhere I want
If only I were free
I wish to sit on a mountain and watch
the world as time will seem to freeze
I'd walk away quite happy about
the day that I just seized
But for now I could only dream
as that is all that can fill me with glee
for there's no better place to dwell, it seems
than under the burnt, black tree.
