See the world through cabin crew eyes

Do tears untangle the knots of disappointment in my heart,

If I believed they would, I’d cry day and night,

But these knots don’t seem like they’ll ever loosen,

So instead, I’m learning to live with them,

I was just a little girl,

Dreaming a thousand dreams,

And still, despite the heartbreaks, I’m happy,

Because even if just one of those thousand dreams comes true,

I can proudly say, I’ve lived my dream,

If a hundred came true,

I’d be the happiest person on Earth,

That’s why the more dreams I have, the better,

Thousands, millions,

There are people who forget how to dream,

Worse, people who make others forget,

When I see them, I just want to run,

They’re bitter, jealous souls,

Who can’t even bear to see others dreaming,

My biggest dream,

To be free like a bird,

To live with wild courage,

To make my own choices,

To fly to distant lands,

To meet people unlike any I’ve known,

And to return home whenever my heart desires,

But I wish my wings wouldn’t burn anymore,

Am I asking for too much?
