A dream of mankind The wish to fly Just like a bird in the sky When I was younger I had wings too What a wonderful view But with the passing of years Joy disappeared Sorrows and fears Brought me to tears Yes I want To learn how to fly once again No more pains No more chains And I want To feel free and careless and then No more pains No more chains Yes I want To move on and rise once again Just one - one more time A dream of mankind True peace of mind Without those sorrows in sight I walked on water Felt so alive And now I'm drowning inside A dream of mankind Some winning streak Only for one single week To hit the jackpot And all it can bring Remains a faraway Unreachable dream
