When this society pushes you more than what you can take
When you are lost within, having very little to fake
Just remember the times when you swore by dreams
And you followed your passion by insidious screams
It’ll strike you, don’t you worry soldier
Dream is your baby, don’t worry just hold her
It’ll burn from inside, it’ll tear you apart
It’ll be difficult to face, it’ll pierce your heart
But don’t worry soldier, keep up the fight
With every drop of blood, with all your might
Because I’ve not known even a single guy
Who’s fought hard and has missed the pie
Your time will soon come, don’t you worry
Just wear that armor soldier, come !come! hurry!
Can’t you see you’re almost there
Can’t you question yourself if not here, then where?
I know the life is being sucked out of you
But hang on! Just do what you’re supposed to do
This life is precious, not gonna come again
Do you want to lose it in a petty bargain?
No soldier! You’re not gonna lose it from here
Come let’s walk down, over there to your lair
You can’t miss meeting her
It’s all you’ve tried for soldier
There she sits cozily in a corner
You can’t miss that sight, come on you soldier
Take all your rest up there, just keep on walking
It’s as good as dead coming here and then baulking
History won’t forgive you if you can’t make it
Can’t you see you don’t have chains, come on shake it!
Don’t die on me like this, we’re almost there
Don’t prove this to be nothing but just a snare
Ah! Where’s the life in you?
Where’s the freshness of that morning dew?
Yes, that’s more like it! Let’s move fast
Let’s get the ship back in shape, let’s hoist the mast
Hey world, see we’re coming, just wait for us
Don’t you like it, hey you! I’m talking to you cuss!
See these colors of life, see them dissolve
They were waiting for you, waiting to absolve
Can you see the light over there, those glowing flares?
We’re going there, yes where hardly anyone dares
And inhale the joys of life
Fruits of sweat, ripened in strife
The journey has surely cost you, your moments and your life
But isn’t this the day you were waiting for, in days of yore and rife
Lo and behold, the beauty before your eyes
Live the moment fully before it dies
Look there in the corner, you can go and rest
Because she’s waiting for you, you have passed her test
Her lap is pristine, a sea of tranquility
You deserve it thoroughly, a portrait of humility
And I too can lie down with you
Such moments I’ve waited for have been very few
And I can look into your eyes when you are fast asleep
How you have toiled hard and have plunged so deep
And I look at her face now, and she smiles on you
You’ve made her proud, and she’s fond of you
And while I sink deeper into the valley of mirth
I know you’ve achieved your purpose of birth!
