2. Voice
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
This morning
I heard the voice of a seagull
And my soul took flight
Far, far away
Across waves
And oceans
Away, far away
I travelled to an island
To a faraway shore
I listened for the waves
I read the sky
I saw clouds sail past
and all the times that were gone
I saw the last faint traces
of time ran-on

3. Flight
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
I take flight through a sky of memory
made of dark secrets
and bright-city far below
flying back through the days I spent
close beside you
the echo of your voice resonating
in whispers of sunlight
across waves set aflame, I take flight
memory’s tide washing over me, through me
in clouds silent and dark, in you, I take flight
