I dream  of a world
in which a small child no longer craves for food ,
a young women no longer dreads to walk out

A world in which no other man will scorn
where earth enjoys love and affection
rather than greed an infection.

I dream of a world to set our feet on the path of independence
so that we can maintain our surface tension

A world where our right to live freely
is not lifted by the government who tried high

I dream of a world
where all will know freedom’s way
where sorrow no longer fills our hearts

A world where black or white
every man is free
whatever race you be

I dream of a world
where everyone can earn
and be free to learn

A world where our actions don’t deceive our presence
where the climate changes
slowly drowning the human races

Of such I dream ,my world !
where misery will hang it’s head
and bliss like a pearl
attends the need of all mankind

A world where ,ordinary people whose suffering is real
speak of their fears, the struggles they face
when survival becomes ordeal
I want them to stop fighting
because we are done crying
lets stand up for all those who are hurting

I’ll be their mirror
and help them see a little bit clearer
for this is how I dreamt it to be, my world.
