The underbrush ahead of me,
the snowy trail behind.

I leave my inhibitions and I dare to take the climb.
I throw myself into the wild,
without knowing much.

I won’t die,
I cross my heart,
I spread my wings and fly.

The joy and glee I’ve left behind,
the sorrow up ahead,
I know I can’t give up,
and it’s going to my head.

I leave my inhibitions and I dare to risk my life.
I throw myself into the fight,
I know I will survive.

I won’t die,
I cross my heart,
I brace myself and fight.

I won’t die,
I cross my heart,
I spread my wings and fly.

The war is coming to an end, I can feel it near.
I step back and take my place,
relinquishing my fear.

I didn’t die,
I crossed my heart,
I spread my wings and fly.

I didn’t die,
I crossed my heart,
I kiss the field goodbye.
I leave the field behind.
I’m coming home tonight.
