Thoughts are free

Thoughts are free, who can guess them?
They fly by like nightly shadows
No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them
It remains at that: my thoughts are free!

I think what I want and what suits me
Everything in the quiet and how it reveals itself
My wish, my desires, no one can change
It remains that: my thoughts are free!

And if they lock me up in a dark dungeon
I laugh at the pain and at all human doings
Thus, my thoughts tear down the barriers
And the walls into pieces, thoughts are free!
