Give me a dream
Fiercer than a fire
More solemn than silence
Deeper than wisdom;

Give me a dream
Stronger than my will
Clearer than white light
More certain than death;

Give me a dream
That I can carry
Like feathered wings on my back –
As light as ashes on a shadow.

If you grant me my dream
I’ll give you my eyes
To light up your darkness
Gently like shiny stars.

If you grant me my dream
I’ll give you magic words
Breathed from my mouth
So you can fill your empty world.

If you grant me my dream
I’ll give you an alphabet
That suits all languages
So you can sing new songs.

Please grant me my dream –
I don`t want to die
Or just to be a shadow
Fading to nothingness without the sun.
