This is kottur.
It's a song, to reach to the light.
Write and sing. Sing and write.
I've got so many things given and received, since the day I was born.
I thank the music, all the people I've met, my family, and the nature.
I'll get on with my life, embracing them all.
It is a time of release, when I sing and got deeper with the sound.
Then my body is fulfilled completely.
It is everything!
