ALEX MAK 1980 - I’m a Dreamer

How I long to spend my days In quietness, away from noise In simple joys and gentle grace May trouble pass and lose its voice Let storms stay with the sky alone Not with the ones I hold so near May those I love not leave me prone When luck runs out and clouds appear Let friends be many, foes be few But where there's hate, let love be more And let the sky keep that pure blue I knew on summers long before Bright, deep, and wide, a soaring dome With sunlit corners softly glowing Let children laugh, let old age roam In peace not grief, not fearing Let doors stand open to the far To distant lands and endless shores You'll call it nonsense — dreamer's star That life's not what the heart adores But I'll go on believing still Though you may say I've lost my mind And let that flame burn bright until The world proves me not weak, but kind
