Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears

Look the old man in his eyes

As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd

In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seem so glazed

As he flies on the wings of a dream

Now he knows his father betrayed

Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly as high as the sun

On your wings like an eagle

Fly and touch the sun
