When I was in school, we used have a singing class every Saturday. Much that I hated it, I always found a good excuse for being silent during group singing sessions. The L.F.S (Little Flower School) song-book, however still continues to be one of my precious possessions. It has soooooo many memories associated with friends, teachers and myself.After many years I took a look at my songbook again. One of the songs in it is 'Una Paloma Blanca'. Its such a beautiful song. It makes me feel strong and fills me with a sense of independence.
Here it is :
When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
