Many times we are prone to forget
The reason and the rhyme in the passing of time
Many times our minds are not yet set
On our soul's true mission, to release all our passion.
We wallow on a sea of forgetfulness
We wander travelling lost and directionless
We hold on to many of life's illusions
And forget our life's true visions.
Until we hear the silent voice of the heart speak,
And realize that this small voice is the spirit we seek,
We rise to the challenge of global transformation,
This is the responsibility of our generation.
When i dream i think of all the pain,
And then dream dreams of the coming rain,
Rains that would wash my hurts down the drain,
And leave happy, laughing, and very sane.
I know that in my suffering,
I have to go on keep believing,
that life is full of glory
And not dull and dreary.
That the universe is full of opportunity
And the injustice and suffering are temporary,
And my greatest hurt will be my inspiration
My failure will put me into positive motion
My suffering will be my shining beacon
That the world is full of light and reason.
For failure is the mother of success
the more you are down the more you will do your best
And so keep on the hope and the vision
A new world full of love and compassion.
When i die i want to return to this world again
I want to have a new body, heart, soul, and shen
I want to see the old world has crumbled and passed away
I am excited to see how the new world has come and have my day
In these present times the sun shines yet our spirit is dark
And the people in their foreheads the beast has left its mark
The world driven by power, and money and insatiable greed,
There's so much for everybody yet there is nothing to feed.
The poor people die in untold hunger, war and misery,
The rich people lie in gold while the poor wallow in poverty
The earth groans in pain and nature's ecosystems are slain
All sentient creatures suffer in blood and torture, all in vain
Yet i know that life and spirit and hope will triumph in the end
In this night of darkness and pain, the old world is coming to an end
And in its place a new world fresh with all the lessons
there is the gift of peace, prosperity, wisdom, and reason.
I know that i may never see this dream come true
Not in this lifetime i will never see it through.
I will begin this struggle now so people will follow too
'Til death i will do it but i will just be born again new!
My heart is made of stone and steel
My mind can go cirlces like a wheel
My spirit is built to stand till the last
My body can adjust so challenges it can outlast.
I am made of the dream of the universe
A fabric of love from Mother Earth i nurse
Believing in the best that humanity can be
Amidst injustice, pain, suffering and poverty
There are gargantuan battles waiting ahead of me
A battle for the Earth and the light and our human dignity
Let all those who stand for the light rise to the ocassion
So a New World will be born in accordance to our Vision!
