I know...!


Oh! You dreamer!
Comeback in this world
Do not aspire to fly high
Sky is for birds.

Sky is for birds??
Then why do I feel like
Floating high in the sky
About to reach the sun?

Oh! You nutcase!
You are a small girl
Do not talk as a monk
This world is a place to live.

This world??
Then what is that space above
I know I can touch it
I know where I belong.

Oh! You filthy girl
We are born of sin
Do not think of yourself as pure
Nothing is pure.

Really? Is nothing pure?
Then why do I feel pure
This body is not 'Me'
For that I am sure.

I am a dreamer
I know who am I 
I am a pure soul
I am everything.
