The moon blooms at the firmament while the world spins in a pleasant silence. Evyn lies fast asleep and is carefully embraced by the starlit sphere. His calm and steady breath wanders through the quiet ambience of the room. All of a sudden Evyn‘s heart starts beating faster and faster, he awakens and his dream merges with reality. A warm glow surrounds him with gentle care. A familiar feeling floods his veins and unleashes a drive Evyn has never felt before. Not missing a beat, he grabs his patchwork blanket which his brother gave him for his ninth birthday and turns his back on his home.
lyrics
I‘m running. I‘m running on lonely roads. I‘m running. I‘m running all alone. I‘m running. I‘m running on empty streets. Bygone days get buried beneath my feet. I‘m running alone. A winsome force is calling me and it‘s begging me to leave. Nothing should hold you now. Please leave, please leave! The trees are swaying in the wind. There’s no chance for me to climb the crowns cause they‘d throw me back to ground. I could need my kite to travel high up to the sky to see what‘s dragging me away from home. I remember that you were even too weak to speak – breathing hard – just too afraid for me. Please dry your tears. I wrote a note. Mom, trust me, I’ll be back soon. No voice. No sound. It‘s as quiet as the sphere round the burial mound. A magic – a mystery. I want to find the place it wants me to be. It wants me to run faster. It‘s calling frequently. I give myself a pinch to see if I am possibly dreaming. Everything‘s real. I am wide awake and I am leaving everything behind. I‘ve got my beloved blanket in my bag and those everlasting thoughts in my mind. Myriads of fireflies lighten me the way into the world of shimmering lights and it feels quite okay.
