We live in no place we desire,
there's no figure deserves to be admired.
Us, whose hearts are dyed with fire,
from this world, want to retire.
We want to change the world we hate,
with a new one that we have made.
We fortify it with our dream and passion.
We protect it with love and with conviction..
But at the end we think we lose
our precious dream we love the most.
'Dream' we're trying to build
seems too naive and starts to wilt..
Now that we want to change the world so bad,
when we fail we be so sad.
Knowing our dream is far too hard,
instead of changing the world, let us first change our hearts.
We're holding hands, forming a shield
from what insult this world may wield.
We hold our dream more steadily and stiff.
We may not win from what we're up against,
but at least the dream we believe in will live
until the very end,
my friends..
I like the ending a lot you wrote this very well.... Krista
