But it is only in my thoughts that I can travel without fear and my liberty, I have it, only in my dreams. In my dreams I am strong I have your protection I have your affection and your smile. Oh loneliness up in the sky, the sun is alone not only will it shine, but will also blind with its glare without knowing where to shine at neither where to go to. Oh loneliness is a destiny.
