Adamak

Adamak - Erwin Khachikian

I'm not a leaf in the forest
Not a wave from the ocean
Not a stone in the mountains
Not a drop from some fantasy
Not a moment in time
Not a quote from a book
Not a pixel in an image
Not a sip from a cup
I haven't come to this world
To be a slave to repetition
To be forced to go on a road
At the crossroad of doubt

I’m not a word of a story
Not a dot in the alphabet
Not a note of a song
Not a thread in a fabric

I haven't come to this world
To follow some pattern
To be forced to go on a road
At the crossroad of doubt

I haven't come to this world
to be a slave to habit
for my dreams to vanish 
out of fear and doubt
I haven't come to this world
To follow some pattern
