Analysis of Catch the wind



I want to catch the wind
And wish to touch the sky
I want to hold the moon
And wish to reach the sun
But I know I can't do that
For wind is made to blow fast
And the sun is above our heads cast
The sky is too far to reach
And the moon has to shine for all
Then how can I hold it alone
The only thing I can touch
  the earth which makes me stand
And see the sky stretched high
With shining sun in the day
And beaming stars and the moon
To adorn the darkness of the night
And feel the pleasant wind blow
Through fragrance and the freshness of its wings
To express the rhythmic tones of the heart
Through sweet melodies and songs of life
