I wish I could fly like a bird

O my dear feathered friend,

I so wish to be like you,

I too want to become a bird,

I too wish to have wings,

to be able to fly freely, 

up above in the sky.

Sometimes I envy you,

I wish I had such freedom as you!

You are an inspiration to me,

O my feathered friend,

When I look up at you,

I find so much hope,

I wish my soul could soar as high as you,

and no one could reach it, 

however much they tried to ground it down...

You are an inspiration to me,

O my feathered friend,

Keep flying free,

my heart follows you,

To be able to fly like a bird,

that is what I wish in my prayers,

with all my heart.
