LYRICS

I am running in a field with my flowing hair
was it the wind or
is my head under water?
From each curl there dangles a star
Jewels I picked out just for my feathers
I will dazzle you with my glare

I am running in a field with open arms
The sun went down for me long ago
In my last letter I confessed to her
how I dream of sunset forever
she granted me this wish because
(I turned myself into a shooting star)

I am running in a field beneath the purple sky
your reflection in my eyes
waltzing with the flowers
I think I’m running towards thin air
A piece of the world will fit into my arms
And bestill the rumbling of my heart

Lyrics: (Poet: Stephanie Cui)
