One Day

You will stand on the shoulders of life You will be counted among world leaders Or even academicians You will be a surgeon Operating deep into the belly of life You will cut through the cords of human suffering And open a channel for success You will be a pilot Flying far above the hostilities of life You will hold success in your hands And be the brightest star in the sky You will be an engineer Tunnelling through life with easy You will hold the torch of hope And make us see the light at the end of the tunnel You will be a nurse Bringing healing to the sick Injecting life into the dying You will bring joy to many families You will be a farmer Full of goodness Ploughing seeds of life You will nourish the poor And feed nations One day, you will find yourself And be amazed At what you have achieved From rags to riches You will teach others The lessons of life
