I will not still my voice!
I have to much to claim
If yo see me looking at books
or coming at your house
or walking in the sun
know that I look for fire.
I have learnt from book dear friend,
of men dreaming and living
and hungering in a room without light
who could not die since death was too poor
who did not sleep to dream but dream to change the world
and so, if you see me looking at your hands,
listening when you speak,marching in your ranks
you must know,
I DO NOT SLEEP TO DREAM BUT DREAM TO CHANGE THE WORLD
RE: unknown
and if one day your dream comes true
I hope that good things you will do
to help a world to blind to see,
how beautiful it can be
looking at your hands what will you see?
