Wander.
Take the paths you never took,
Let them lead you somewhere new.
Give them a chance
To show what feels right.
Drift from the path,
But never stand still.
The journey will make sense
As long as you keep going.
Nothing can stop you
From following your heart.
You are a miracle
Yearning to be free.
Take flight into the skies
For you are the wind.
