Just a little cloud

Like a little cloud, I want to be

Over mountains and valleys, I like to see

With thunder in my heart and tears on my wings

I will play my part to the melody that he sings

But like a little cloud, I want to fly

Over dry land, I want to cry

And when the winds take me to the peaks

My eyes will keep on turning as he seeks

Over bare rocks, I will scrape

My white veil I will drape

Over the arid peaks below

In the wind, I will flow

But a little cloud I will be

Laughter I will see

Without any bones or breath, I will fly

While my wings will shake and cry

The thunder in my belly will scream

And that is my little dream

On the back of an elephant, I will ride

Drape her like a giant bride

Rivers will flow at my command

As the elephant's demand

My love will become greater than the peaks

And my words will follow as he speaks

A little cloud I want to be

Flying over man and tree

My tears will be the rain

That kills the drying pain

My shadow will cover the land

My feet will drag in the sand

My heart will be painless and free

As I float over man and tree

Invane my tears will not be

Rain is all you will see

My vail will be floating long

As the never-ending song
