When we say goodnight to our sorrows

they'll surely go to sleep,

the stars bear witness

to a greatness tomorrow

When we say goodbye to our fears,

a confidence sets in,

the tears stop dropping

and the days of discomfort fade away

When we say goodnight to misfortune,

daylight shall surely come

with the handshake of daybreak

and we shall outsmile the sun

Hopes, dreams

are the very things that make life tolerable,

with a periscope of persistence,

we can see the star of success

even though on the earth of limitation.
