Flow

Chasing that feelingOf magic and harmonyYearning all the possibilitiesHigh on love and the ocean breezeWith nobody to pleaseBut me, I am freeJust cruising the air wavesTo lighter and brighter daysSun, moon and starsLight the way homeWhere wild hearts roamBlissfully, joyfully, eternallyHere I choose to play.
