THE OTHER SIDE

Stretching my arms beneath the sky,
Looking above with my head held high,
Cheers brought by this wind is pleasant,
Love for someone has all the more deepened.

The earth under my feet has been really cold,
I could run down the streets like a blindfold,
I feel someone is showering blessings on me,
Not my eyes but my heart can see.

Someone is holding my hand very tight,
The bond is getting stronger with every passing night,
Wind is getting colder but I am not stopping today,
With my broad smile, I will keep sadness at bay.

I won’t sweat and I won’t get tired,
I want to run so fast that the earth catches the fire,
Fire which has burnt my heart from long,
And today I am with the birds singing the song.

Tonight I will have dreams,
Tonight I won’t scream,
Tonight I will have my smile,
Tonight I will sleep for a while.

For these days I missed my jive,
I missed the essence of my life,
Today I want everything back,
Today I want to amend everything I lack.

I can see the stars smiling at me,
Astonishingly, this is what I can be,
They can say that I have gone mad,
But this is how I am when I am not sad….
