When I was five,

I would like to sleep to dream,

Where I can hear the songs of the sunbirds,

I can smell the odour of coffee.

Wake up! I am in love with my family. 

​

When I was six,

I would like to sleep to dream,

Where I can see a desert with sun beams

There is a wonderful stream in the desert,

Me and my friends jump in and swim.

​

When I was seven,

I would like to sleep to dream,

Where I am playing soccer with my team,

I can see me at the first day of school

But, it's just in my dreams

​

 

Now, I'm eight,

I don't want to sleep to dream,

'Cause my dream is full of screams.

The screams of my friends who feel hurt

I am missing the songs of the sunbirds

 

Now, I'm eight,

I don't want to sleep to dream,

'Cause what I see first is not the sun beams,

There's smoke from bombs and guns

I was lucky to run away from the death.

​

Now, I'm eight,

I don't want to sleep to dream,

'Cause I wouldn't smell the odour of coffee

It is replaced by the smell of burnt gunpowder

I just realize I am a shooter.

​

Now,

I have to sleep to dream

'Cause I'm feel pains in my face,

'Cause I don't want to see my face with seams.

They will never disappear

Like my dreams.
