Free as the Wind (Theme from "Papillon")
Yesterday's world, is a dream
Like a river, that runs, through my mind
Made of fields, and the white pebbled, stream
That I knew, as a child
Butterfly wings, in the sun
Taught me all, that I needed to see
For they sang, sang, to my heart
Oh, look at me, look at me
Free as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Love, was the dream, of my life
And I gave it, the best I knew how
So, it always brings tears, to my eyes
When I think of it, now
Gone, like the butterfly days
And the youth, that I once used to be
But my heart, still hears a voice
Telling me, "Look and you'll see"
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
There's no regret, that I feel
For the bitter-sweet taste, of it all
If you love, there's a chance, you may fly
If you fall, well, you fall
Rather the butterfly's life
To have lived, for a day, and been free
For my heart, still hears, that voice
Telling me, "Look and you will see"
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way
Like a river, that runs, through my mind
Made of fields, and the white pebbled, stream
That I knew, as a child
Butterfly wings, in the sun
Taught me all, that I needed to see
For they sang, sang, to my heart
Oh, look at me, look at me
Free as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Love, was the dream, of my life
And I gave it, the best I knew how
So, it always brings tears, to my eyes
When I think of it, now
Gone, like the butterfly days
And the youth, that I once used to be
But my heart, still hears a voice
Telling me, "Look and you'll see"
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
There's no regret, that I feel
For the bitter-sweet taste, of it all
If you love, there's a chance, you may fly
If you fall, well, you fall
Rather the butterfly's life
To have lived, for a day, and been free
For my heart, still hears, that voice
Telling me, "Look and you will see"
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way, you should be
Free, as the wind, free, as the wind
That is the way
