I flew into your stratosphere,
My wings stronger than ever,
A bird with her special song,
I sang until my lungs gave out,
A melody unforgettable,
A taste of freedom

I lie on the stone cold ground,
My wings ripped apart,
Feather by feather until I could fly no more,
My song stolen, words twisted,
Until I couldn't recognize the tune anymore,
Now I am a bird flightless,
Utterly hopeless,
Stripped of everything I could call my own.
