I thought the world is big
That it has boundless space
For me to live and play
I thought the landscape is free
Where adventures abound
For me to live and play
I thought life here is secure
And opportunities are great
For me to live and play
Yet, the reality entails:
The world is smaller
That people congest
Where I live and play
The land is much to pay
Citizens becoming foreign
Where I live and play
And life itself in danger
Threaten to succumb to death
Where I live and play
