The Children of Destiny


O, the bleary-eyed happy children,
The children of destiny
What are the dreams in your happy eyes?
What are the voices in your happy soul?
Everybody has lost the way in the jungles
Light has blinded the long vision of faith
You show the right wind to sail
You spread your smilings among the millions
With your firm footsteps.

Someday you will carry the burden on your shoulder
Someday everything will stop at your feet
You burn the light under darkness
Let the pigeons meet the white doves
Peace will anchor the griefs beneath your hidden cry
All roads will lead to the way of freedom
Shackles of your serene silence will explode
In a mother's lullaby
And you will run like the frolicsome birds
Flying in the yonder land of hope and bliss.

O, the bleary-eyed!
You will reign the whole sky
All will be at your mercy's end
Nobody will ever be drowned in pangs of hunger
Your hands will dispel the fear of long day's despair and darkness
You will be the hope and happiness for one and all.
