BjÖrn Afzelius ikaros

Select language to translate this lyric

When I think back to my childhood
I see horror images most clearly
Yes, the times they scared me or hit me
Are the memories that stick the hardest
Because as a child you take love for granted;
Everything else is against one's nature
The moment you step out into life
Are you just an affectionate animal
Still soon the adults stand there and point
br/>In the direction they think you should take
All the dreams they themselves have been denied
They want to realize through their children
If you are obedient you are rewarded and celebrated
If you rebel you lose all
No one loves a child who does not succeed
No one loves a child who is strong
But who possesses the ability to know
What is contained in a new individual?
And who can tell someone else what happiness looks like
Who can tell what someone else wants to be?
Let your flowers take root where there is soil
Let your plants live where they thrive
Don't lock your plants in a greenhouse
Let them escape an unnatural life
Let the one you love test their wings
One day your loved one will fly right
If you want to be respected by your image
Then you can show your image respect
