The Dream Versus the Future
Chorus:
When he built a dream house and
"The dream" became a nightmare.
Then, he spoke to us about his frustration,
how his aims had not been achieved.
He entrusted himself to us.
Man. Do not dream, instead Act!
The Man:
Then I myself set out,
and loitering is also forbidden,
And I, who stood intent upon beholding the roots of Fortune!
I tried it; I swear it!
I tried with all my strength!
but...I failed again
but... So far; I definitely understood.
that what I intended
that. hardly could the eye attain it.
The Chorus:
Cord never shot an arrow from itself,
for that you need a bowman
but also, permission to wander.
The Man:
And I, in my indigence unveiled The Quiz.
Humbly and forever. I I should admit that
neither I have archer nor permission to wander.
