ONE DAY IT WILL ALL BE GONE

What I see now one day it will all be gone

Because once I’ll be in another dimension

But for now I am still wandering here

Dancing between the wildflowers and the corn

I’m enjoying the springtime of my life

Until now everything has been good to me

I am walking over the hillsides of time

Open minds everywhere where I want to be

I print my footsteps in the sandy ground

I carve my name in the old trunk of a tree

I wish my friends could see me now

But it seems that I only want to be free

What I see now one day it will all be gone

Because once I’ll be in another dimension

But for now I am still wandering here

Dancing between the wildflowers and the corn

I can clearly hear the beating of my heart

My blood flows restless through my veins

A million thoughts are rushing in my head

They tell me I never wanted to live in chains

They tell me that only freedom has real value

That I’ve got only one life and it must be right

That one day everything here will be gone

And that is what I want to put in this song

What I see now one day it will all be gone

Because once I’ll be in another dimension

But for now I am still wandering here

Dancing between the wildflowers and the corn
