If I dream when I sleep that life is full of joy,
then I wake up and feel that man just plays the role of a toy.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a game,
then I wake up and feel that man lives just for fame.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a journey,
then I wake up and feel that man cannot decide his destiny.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a song,
then I wake up and feel that how man can sing it for so long.
If I dream when I sleep that life is a beauty,
then I wake up and feel that life is a duty.
If I want a dream to share with you,
then I hope it will come true.
If I want to be a ray of light,
then I wish it brings glory to the dawn and dispels the night.
If I want to be the river that makes the soil fertile,
then I wish it should last forever.
If I want to be the dew drop that adorns the grass and the flowers,
then I wish they dance when the winds pass.
No matter if I am none of these!
My life is an accomplished one if,
I can spread the fragrance of “Humanity”.
