I dreamed a dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid
When dreams were made and used,
And wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung,
No wine untasted.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
As they turn your dreams to shame.

And still I dream he'll come to me
And we will live our lives together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms
We cannot weather...

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seems
Now life has killed
The dream I dreamed




"Di situ kita mungkin kenal diri kita, buatkan juga untuk pasangan kita dan tengok persamaan, jauh dari perbezaan. Hendak cari perbezaan memang seratus kita akan jumpa dan hendak cari perbezaan, seribu yang akan menjelma.

Tak wajib betul harus salah, setakat suka-suka, sekurang2nya kita ada panduan utk mengenal pasangan kita, atau saingan kita. Semuanya ALLAH punya kuasa, tapi tentu setiap sesuatu itu ada rahsia yg tersembunyi. Kalau sekarang baru tahu bukan bermakna ia tak ada, tapi kita yang belum jumpa.

Akhir kata, selamat bercinta buat kali pertama dan itulah yang pertama dan terakhir. Cinta untuk cita-cita kerana cinta bukan untuk ditangisi tapi dinikmati."
