I'm Trapped there is nowhere to run.

I'm Lost where is the sun.

Oh, Where do I go?

I'm sinking to the ground.

I don't hear a sound.

Oh, Where do I Go?

I'm falling slowly.

Why am I so lowly.

Oh, Where do I Go?

My Wings have been clipped.

My beak chipped.

Oh, Where Do I Go?

I cannot even see.

There is no light for me.

Oh, Where Do I Go?

I call out into the blackness.

I'm turning to ashes.

Oh, Where Do I Go?

I am now dirt.

But I am unhurt.

Oh, Where do I Go?

I am changing into fire.

My situation is turning dire.

Oh, Where Do I Go?

I am becoming the sun.

We are one.

Oh, I know where I shall Go!

To the sky.

There is where my wings will fly.

I shall Go.......
