All these years, I had analyzed and memorized the words
All these years, I had worshipped and prayed to the Lords
To pass the exams and get high grades
To be the top one over my classmates
Now I am a sophomore
And I keep asking God for more
Then on a windy night, a dream was born
It awakened me before I was torn
Do silvers and gold matter?
Please, please think of the answer
Do you think it will bring you joy and laughter?
I want you to realize it before your strength shatter
At this moment, I regret the days that passed
I wanted to bring back my childhood but ‘twas last
I grew up in a world where no leisure exist
When you played, be ready for a stick or a fist
I wanted to fly like bird
I wanted to explore the world
I never wanted to be locked and study
But if I don’t follow, a mark will lay on my body
Sometimes, I thought of being a rebel master
But I knew that it wasn’t the answer
Thanks to the dream that filled my night
Now I found the real meaning of life
The measure of a man doesn’t depend on being the first, second and third
It not also on being intelligent, talented, or weird
Do you know what is it? Or you doubt?
Well… it is for you to find it out
Do you know what my dream was?
I got a gold medal and I was preparing for my college life
I wanted to be a writer and I must
But my parents wanted me to be a doctor so I strived
I failed and failed and failed
I live alone ‘cause my parents died
I become a slave and experienced hunger
Now, do the awards I got still matter>
I cried and cried and cried
Then I was awakened, it’s already six-thirty five
I was happy that it was just a nightmare
No…it was a dream not a nightmare…
