I Am a Dreamer, Still a Dreamer
I am a dreamer
A dreamer to own a bicycle but never got one
I am still a dreamer
I am a dreamer
A dreamer who wanted to play a set of small pieces of plastic toy-soldier
But I can’t afford to buy one
But I got the hand-amputated one
I picked it up in a canal of mud
I am still a dreamer
I am a dreamer who loves to play “sigung”
Because this is the only piece to play
And a toy that is easy for me to avail
I am still a dreamer
I am still a dreamer
I am a dreamer who wanted to have a car
But I got tank in my ancestor’s homeland
I am still a dreamer
I am a dreamer to finish a degree
This is which everyone wanted to get a job
But I need to go abroad to be professional slave
I am still a dreamer
I am dreamer to own a shop for a bicycle
For me to give gift to the one needs it
But cannot afford like to buy like me before
I am still a dreamer even without owning a bicycle before
Until today I am still a dreamer
I only owned myself who was created by the mercy of God
That until today I am still a dreamer
I am a dreamer, and still a dreamer until today
I am still a dreamer, Tausug dreamer
That one day, as a dreamer my dream would become true!
Bow…!
