I ran and ran but got nowhere,

when I looked down I had no feet,

but wings that took me to my heart,

that in my dreams so warmly beats;

all around me colours whirl,

like flashing lights sent to remind,

that once my world was dark and bleak,

but my wings help leave that world behind;

it’s when I wake and look around,

I realise each day is a new chance,

to step toward the lights of life,

and live it like a merry dance.
