Set the world alight

A thousand dreams I may dream
Of castles and knights and dragons
But none can compare to the dream of life
Of aspirations and endeavors and accomplishments
Never a day without meaning
Of fears and hopes and happiness
An opportunity to leave a mark upon this world
Of individuals and races and countries
The need to save nature from death
Of carelessness and pollution and destruction
Now is the time to be the true self
Of uniqueness and love and peace
To rescue what is falling out of the place we live
Of divineness and sacredness and holiness
Let the end of our story be a happy one
Of togetherness and fruitfulness and prosperity
