My Silent Self.............

                                  My Silent Prayers........

I pray for my dreams to come true

To find thee and be forever with you

To depart to an island of never ending love

Where skies would simmer with blue jays and doves



Where peace would be in every heart

Where people would not hesitate to give truth a head-start

Where there would be no despairing screams

Where you would not just be a dream



In the sad ocean of salty tears,

We had spent our countless days and years

Lets go to an island where there would be no hate, no guns, no blasts

Where there would be no need of bomb-disposing squads



To a place where peace would be around

To a place where hopes would touch the ground

Where mountains stay beneath the sea

Where flowers would be the garden reed

Where dreams would be in every eye

Where hearts would shine and touch the skies
