CWhen I come in my dGreams to a hFouse I’ve never seen befCore,
I have a Amtendency to Em7look for the exit Fdoor.Fm  
Cause I Cnever know it may bGe that hoAmuse agaFin,
I never Cknow, FI never Cknow.
When I come in my mind to a stream that's running gently,
I have a tendency to run like a frightened deer.
Cause I never know it may take me to that ocean again,
I never know, I never know.
FI usually stay away from Embeing carried away,
FBut one day I saw a silver Emhorse.
I though he might Ctake me to that Amsomewhere high,
I thought he might Ctake me to that Gdeep blue Csky.Fm  C  Fm  C  Fm  
Then I Ccame to reaGlize that the Amhorse had no Fmwings.
"No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know."
FI learnt to travel the Amworld around
And Frun on the ground in the sAmpringtime
And that's the Fstory of a wAmandering soul,
That's the Fstory of a GdreaCmer.
