Once I was a child of feather light,
Once I was a mad man
The future seemed bright!
My life was long away from me.

Once I was a child of delight
I set my heart wherever it desired me
I was lighter than air
I was the wind the sea and the black falcon in the sky

Long ago, my friends were alive,
their minds were uncorrupted,
Clean and free.
Their life was joy
Salvation
They cried

Once I was a boy,
But I "aled" my life away
For years and years
I was the only one
Once I was a boy of feather light
A boy of pure delight
