The weather was too cold

thinking if my travel was a mistake

said to my heart, covered by snow

Everything is going to be alright

 

Blooming like a jasmine, was I

Trying to mold myself into a new world

Said to my life, covered in spring flowers

Everything is beautiful

 

Life has a dramatic curve

Remembering the time of happiness

Said to myself, tangled up inside

Everything will heal within time

 

Trusting time to find the cure

Looking for the keys in my own creation

To free the bird in the cage,

Said near is the time to fly
