- Floating -

Touched by the sweet lips of the wind
      Float away from misery and the doubtful world
      From cradle to grave, back to nature's primeval days
      Above the dust of the earth, a weightless state
      With grateful heart, but weeping eyes
      Changing fates, that found the world so merciless
      No wreath of soft down or bay leaves to tie

      Soar freely on ambitious lightweight wings
      Search here and there, high and low - in wrath and passion
      The palm of honor stands strong, free, brave and proud
      Reborn from pink marble chamber, the child of love
      A fresh morning floods, with sparkling champagne sun
      The glow changes in the pearl, brought the mercy back
      The wings of the pigeons intertwined
