In a world with a billion
life races by like a stallion
like streaks of paint on a canvass
sometimes leaving us in complete blackness

Life is a journey, a continual quest
with plenty of pleasures and bundles of unrest
the path at first is smooth and paved
no hurdles or storms are needed to be braved

Sooner or later though we come across a river
raging and ferocious, the color of silver
with no bridge in sight, a path we must create
choosing if it is zigzagged or completely straight

Stone by stone, the path is built
crossing over the treacherous water and silt
troubles we will face, both big and small
no matter what, we will conquer them all

Soon, victory will be ours and we shall celebrate
we are in control, no need to hesitate
one obstacle down, our quest we shall continue
and at every river start again fresh and anew

Life is full of both gentle and ferocious rivers
embrace your problems and don’t ever quiver
open your eyes to all possibilities
and don’t ever limit or hide your abilities

Life is a journey, a quest, an adventure
don’t hold back and dare to venture
in a world with a billion
life races by like a stallion
