I want to feel like a stick in a stream
Drifting in the velvet cool
After a rain so crisp and clean
Floating above the fish in school

I want to walk in the light once more
Break from these shadows that shroud
Grow wings to rise and soar
And float from cloud to cloud

I want to laugh like a child again
Without the cares of the day
Far from this life of stress and strain
Lost in a world of play

I want to hold love in my hands
Embrace it with all my heart
Live my dreams and make new plans
Find a brand new start

I want not to want these things I want
For with them I would not want
But with each day, each passing year
I can't escape this wanting haunt
