Make believe that the sun is your own lucky star,

You are the prodigal son.

You are the vision of prophets and sages;

Am          D    G     G
You are the only one.

Dream of a bright tomorrow,       know that your dream will come true.

      Am          D                 D9   D9
Carry your dream in a sparkling crystal jar;
