من میخوام زنده باشم . زندگی تازه میخوام
گل تازه . شعر نو . عشق پر آوازه میخوام
من به بالا پریدن . عادت دیرینه دارم
اونی که همسفر و عاشق پروازه میخوام
گل پژمرده تو گلدون دیگه جایی نداره
اونی که با خنده هاش به غصه میتازه میخوام
تو صدای نی . خدا رو به خدا دیدم من
اونی که عاشق سوز ساز و آوازه میخوام

من به بالا پریدن . عادت دیرینه دارم
اونی که همسفر و عاشق پروازه میخوام
گل پژمرده تو گلدون دیگه جایی نداره
اونی که با خنده هاش به غصه میتازه میخوام
به گلوی من . خدا قدرت خوندن داره
اونی که به خوندنم همیشه مینازه میخوام
خسته شد گوش من از شنیدن وصف سرا
اونی که بنای زندگی رو میسازه میخوام
من به بالا پریدن . عادت دیرینه دارم
اونی که همسفر و عاشق پروازه میخوام
من میخوام زنده باشم . زندگی تازه میخوام
گل تازه . شعر نو . عشق پر آوازه میخوام
من به بالا پریدن . عادت دیرینه دارم
اونی که همسفر و عاشق پروازه میخوام
گل پژمرده تو گلدون دیگه جایی نداره
اونی که با خنده هاش به غصه میتازه میخوام

گل پژمرده تو گلدون دیگه جایی نداره
اونی که با خنده هاش به غصه میتازه میخوام
