Far Away to Freedom

Wind in his hair,
ship with sails is leaving homeland
and in his soul enormous longing.
Too much is left behind,
 to the past, to bygone time.
Those scars won't fade away.
Through the open sea
the ship is heading to wonderland
carrying the lost one aboard.
Happiness of living is a faraway delusion,
a legend of wonderland.
He closes his eyes, the night is boundless.
Through the open sea
the ship is heading to wonderland
carrying the lost one aboard.
To winds of frozen seas,
to heaven of snowy mountains
and to freedom far away.
