Follow the tide and surf the waves
Never bellow in defiance
But roll along in splendid silence
And go from cradle to grave
Unknown, faceless, forgotten.
But that's not for me
My spirit never flow
Noiselessly in obedience
To all the commands
Man make and Man refine.
Hot blood courses through my veins
A yearning so strong beats wildly
My thoughts move restlessly
On wings of anger and disillusion
I want to cry "I am what I am!"
In my red-hot soul I wage a struggle
To snatch victory from anonymity
To shape a destiny all my own
To dream freedom to live and create
My own empire of eternal hope.
Let the battle cry fill the air:
"No one can bottle up my storm
Nor clip my wings nor enslave my spirit
My howling self I unleash
Gone mad with freedom's brew!"
