Under the sweltering Sun,
I lost few drops of mine,
Vapourizing into the hot air
Oh, I burned, I cried...
I writhed with the bend
Built by some men
I coursed the way it sent me,
Along the way, I went.
I collided with a mighty rock
I sighed, I needed to rest,
It changed my course,my way
A new way, I went.
Some thirsty birds,
Some time with me, they spent
I beamed at them,
While they drank some of me
And then they left.
I have been sad, at times,
Lonely and blue;
At other times, I would just be free
And blue would be my hue.
I went a long way;
I knew not my destiny.
Often, it would just be me
on a long journey.
I was chained by each bend,
I was forced to move by each hit,
It was my little inferno
And I, it's bound self.
Alas, the time came
For me to be free,
When I lost my true self
To adjoin the sea.
