JOYFUL

The time of fear has finished

The time of anguish has vanished

Now all I want is to live,

and finally my heart is beating

Now all I want is to be free,

and finally my brain is breathing

I want to live, I want to know the world,

I want to be a different person

I'm free to live, the future is so close

I'm free to do whatever I wish

How beautiful it is to find all this joy in me

How good it’s to see there is another way to be

How beautiful it is to find all this energy

How good it's to know that now the sun lights up my face

...to forget all my past and go on...

Now all I want is to live, and finally my heart is beating

Now all I want is to be free, and finally my brain is breathing

I've never felt this kind of inner strength

I've never felt... so joyful
