I kissed my mother goodbye
I told her that I will return
Even though, I am forced to fly
In my eyes, tears will burn
I packed my things
And I am ready to go
But deep inside of me
Fears I won’t show
To distant lands
Behind Mountains and sees
I wave my hand
Leaving everything behind me bleed
Inside the plane
I’m flying so high
It’s driving me insane
And pushes me to cry
Farewell, my beloved country
Don’t let the wolfs get you
This is where I cut my story
This is where I say…
I love you.
