A NEW WORLD

I dream not of money or fame

I crave to be a glorious name

I aspire to do good to mankind

And to enhance the dignity of every mind.

Strength and courage like

Mother Teresa I need

To preach and practice a good deed

Aspiring for brotherhood all around

With goodness and abound.

Today the world seems amiss

And living here is no bliss.

To leave behind all tragedy and pain

We need God's shower like rain.

I want to be the leader of not one or few

But of the masses and a world that's new.

Where people enjoy the gift of life

When they wake up

Leaving behind all agony and rivalry with

One heart shake-up.

I wish to make them see the wonders of this world

Be they gigantic or small.
