I wander towards home, alone with the sky
Above me are dreams; they twinkle and fly
These thousands of dreams, more if you look hard
All search for their match, no matter how far

Today a dream found me, as it streaked through the sky
I knew it was mine, ’cause I started to cry
The dream whispered softly, “You’ve felt something new”
The next breath it was gone, with nothing in view

I knew what it meant, as my heart was still sore
I had felt like a brother, watching from the shore
My sister was sailing, learning to fly with the Wind
Of her beautiful spirit, the Sun would always sing

She loved that soft breeze, with the slight cool in her face
She adored that bright warmth, wanting to lessen the space
I wanted to warn her, “Even that Sun can get hot
Even those Winds could get fierce, if you believe it or not”

And that was the feeling: protection and concern
A feeling I’d not felt, yet unknowingly yearned
It caused me great pain, I did not want her heart sore
But then I remembered the joy, of when I’d been there before

She is no doubt my sister; our hearts beat as one
So she’ll know of my warnings; she’ll know if to run
But she should know I’ll be here, leave the shore I will not
In case those Winds get too fierce, or that Sun gets too hot
