Flying Free

To Erina Tobing:

10 May 2008, you're now flying free towards The God you had served faithfully up to the finish line. Your life was a song that you had sang beautifully. I remember you asked me several times to accompany you singing "Flying Free" at GPIB Paulus. Now I understand why you like this song so much. This song is so you. You finally found the place you call your own and fly there like a bird, with no pain. So farewell Erina. May you rest in peace. See you "up there" one day.

Flying Free

There is a place I call my own

Where I can stand by the sea,

And look beyond the things I've known,

And dream that I might be free.

Like the bird above the trees

Gliding gently on the breeze,

I wish that all my life I'd be

Without a care and flying free!

--

But life is not a distant sky

Without a cloud, without rain.

And I can never hope that I

Can travel on without pain

--

Time goes swiftly on its way,

All too soon we've lost today.

I cannot wait for skies of blue

Or dream so long that life is through.

--

So life's a song that I must sing,

A gift of love I must share .

And when I see the joy it brings,

My spirits soar through the air.

Like that bird up in the sky ,

Life has taught me how to fly.

For now I know what I can be

And now my heart is flying free!
