Four Winds And Seven Seas
         by Inkalill Roesberg

I walked on deserts burning sands, I walked through cities narrow streets,
I walked the dense dark forests wide, I walked by the great rivers side,
I walked upon the mountain high, on grassy hill and lonely road,
the deepest valleys I went through, from marshlands to the treeless plains...

Give me a boat to set on the sea, a sail to catch the current breeze,
...four winds and seven seas, four winds and seven seas...

From north to south to east to west, I meet the people living there,
some are hostile, some are weird, friendly folks living everywhere,
the songs they sing, the words they say, are colored of the place they stay,
the clothes they wear, the modes of hair, friendly folks living
everywhere...

Give me a boat to set on the sea, a sail to catch the current breeze,
...four winds and seven seas, four winds and seven seas...

The shire, the empire, field and farm, the borderlines are sharply drawn,
the properties of kings and queens, the walls around the village town,
the battlefield, the killing zone, I want to walk my way in peace,
no obstacles to fence me in, to travel where and when I please...

Give me a boat to set on the sea, a sail to catch the current breeze,
...four winds and seven seas, four winds and seven seas...

I have the future at my feet, free as air, I enter my dream,
feel the wind blowing in my face, moving forwards, follow the stream,
slash the waves, make glittering spray, ride over the deep on this slender
horse,
smell the ocean, hear the gulls, dolphins jumping, showing the course...

Give me a boat to set on the sea, a sail to catch the current breeze,
...four winds and seven seas, four winds and seven seas...
