lyrics

When I was younger
I wanted to be
in a traveling circus
so I could see
the whole wide world
a carousel
of dancers, magicians and an elephant named
Nelli packed her trunk

I didn’t know who I wanted to be
but I knew I wanted
I wanted to be free

Ups and downs
I got turned around
My petals were falling all over the ground
I was blinded by the sun
I could not see
That big huge forest for that one damn tree

I wasn’t where
I wanted to be
but I still knew what was right for me

A spirit man
once said to me
you’ll never be confined
and you’ll always see
I sat on an egg
I threw out the book
and here I stand
completely hooked

I might not know where I am
but I know I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be
I said I might not know
where I am
but I know I’m exactly where I was meant to be
That’s right
I’m free I’m free
yeah, that’s right....
