My Dream Goes On

I will never stop dreaming
That we can help lives, a child at a time.
Hope is something no amount of poverty can take out.
The right to live a happy life,
To earn a place in an open world,
The pursuit to live one’s dream
No one can take away.

I grow weary sometimes
in my own circumstances
But God, do I have the will to carry on
to help others in my little way.
As long as the passion burns deep within
No tribulation, nor futile imaginings
Can make it stop inside my soul and heart.
There is a fire, the flame’s alive
With all my strength, with all my life
That cause continues, however weak I am
To help someone in need of hope, in need of love.
