Can You Give Me the Life I Love

Can you give me the life I love? Where the people love their world so wide, Just like a garden of fresh blooming roses, Occupies a room of your heart, Even if you don't want it, And that beauty, you cannot hide Where I break the walls of the prison, That surround me and put my feet At that place, where I feel the warmth, Of the eye of the God which marks dusk and dawn And gifts life giving rays, If I do it, Ah!, That would be a great feat! My cup of happiness which has gone, Is replaced by a bowl of cry, Which spreads its wings to break the Chambers, And they just return the Echo, And from an unknown place, a fake smile comes, This is a dual thing, but why? I fail to understand the complex life I have, So I want something simple, And that is why I ask you, Can you give me the life I love? The one I love the most, is so far, Yet still so near She is the one who made my life, a real life, But now she has gone far and I fear, The time I grow up and reach her, She'll be gone forever from here So, to save her, I want the life I love, Where a gift is not a deadly knife, But a smile that is the most precious In this way, I want to see my life My soul, who listens patiently, To the longings of the life I love, Gives a simple reply to me every time, The thought you know but still don't know, Is what you should again hear, "Be the change you wish to see in the world," ( Thought given by Gandhiji) my dear, And you will automatically get the life you love
