  In the world of people with crown,
  In the land with up and down,
  I was lost in millions of faces,
  I had lost my own traces,
  Was just flowing with the current,
  Nothing there to make me relevant,
  Came a tide took me away,
  Made me know my own way,
  Myself I want
  I wanna be free,
  To go against the flow
  I agree,
  To go against the tide
  Is not easy i know,
  But against the current
  I must flow,

 'coz it helps me to be myself!

 'coz it takes me towards my dreams,
