Dear dream, dear my dream, keep hope alive
For most times you wonder if you'll really survive,
You worry all the time if really the future is bright
Why do you worry yet the far end is white
...
As evening approaches,
echoes of distant music rise.
Boys and girls hurry through the evening chores,
meals finished early
...
We stood as pillars, side by side,
To lead the flock and seek the light,
Tenure finished, hearts untied
From the duties of the holy fight.
...
When I entered this pub,
Everything was messy,
Ladies here appeared ill mannered
And their faces old for the job.
...
Fury of troubles throws endless punches.
Innumerable bills and losses jab the ribs.
Grit becomes gloves, holding me upright.
Hope is the guard I refuse to drop.
