Because I want to

I want to overcome the fear
free myself of the chains
sing about beauty endlessly
scream from my soul

Like the wild poppy at the field’s side
such a bold and seductive red
and cooly sober like the forest
Here silence is command

I WANT TO HEAR MYSELF
WANT TO UNDERSTAND MYSELF EXACTLY
TO RETRIEVE MYSELF
WANT TO DEMAND MY HAPPINESS
LOVE LOVE WITHOUT SHAME
BECAUSE I WANT TO

My stone won’t roll down anymore
the mountain gives me strength, too
my heart is open and more colourful
again and again I have to stand up

Be very cautious, very gentle
my heart is a network of scars
trust I will take good care of myself
feel I am I really real

REF:

The past is well digested
light shines through from my core
love enters through my skin
Criminals get taken to court

I let myself go and trust
am child as I never could be
I look after myself lovingly
I am here, it is true
