In our dreams
We dream;
And in our dreams:
The world is beautiful,
Food in plenty,
Joy and laughter,
Dreams are within the
reach of the palm,
In them,
It is easy to hold the stars,
And go to the moon,
In them, the Lovers meet,
At the sun set,
Fate is designed.
But:
Open your eyes and see,
For the reality is not beautiful,
Not a chariot full of roses,
But a chariot full of thrones,
Well,
If you have not been wounded,
Even once, even one time,
Well, then,
You are still on your way,
Your destination is far away.
