Forever
I stand alone in the darkness
The winter of my life came so fast
Memories go back to childhood
To days I still recall
Oh how happy I was then
There was no sorrow there was no pain
Walking through the green fields
Sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
Will you wait for me forever?

Passenger - Young as the morning, old as the sea
I wanna lay by a lake in Norway, I
I wanna walk through Swedish fields of green
I wanna see the forests of Finland, I
I wanna sail on a boat on the Baltic sea
I wanna feel the Russian winter, I
I wanna go to my Polish grandmother's home
I wanna see Hungarian lanterns, I
I wanna walk on a road that leads to Rome
I wanna be free as the winds that blow past me
Clear as the air that I breath
Young as the morning
And old as the sea
I wanna lose myself in the Scottish highlands
The west coast of Ireland
The Cornish breeze
I wanna rest my bones in the Spanish sunshine
The Italian coastline is calling me
To be free as the birds that fly past me
Light as the fish in the sea
To be wise as the mountains
And tall as the trees
I wanna be sunny and bright as a sunrise
Happy and full as the moon
I'm fleeting like fireworks fading too soon

Jean Sibelius - Finlandia
Finlandia, Op. 26 is a symphonic poem by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. The first version was written in 1899, and it was revised in 1900. The piece was composed for the Press Celebrations of 1899, a covert protest against increasing censorship from the Russian Empire, as the last of seven pieces, each performed as an accompaniment to a tableau depicting episodes from Finnish history.
