Pearl of Hope

“What’s my name? What’s my name?”
Took a stroll on a winter day
I waved at strangers on the street
“Excuse me, do you know my name?”

A streak of light
Wild and free
Falling star
What’s my name?
Ease my mind
Set it free
Milky clouds
Do you know my name?

I hope my wish comes true one day
Tried my luck a few blocks away
Played Twenty Questions on my way
At the playground full of laughter and play

What’s my name?
What’s my name?
I have to figure it out
What’s my name
I got lost
At the sea
The white horses are
Greeting me

Spending most nights wide awake
Can’t close my eyes, can’t fall asleep
Every night and every day
Curiosity will never fade

What’s my name?
What’s my name?
I have to figure it out
What’s my name
See the future
Pick a card
The sphinx’s riddle is too hard

Asking the Seven Sages of Greece
I wish they’d help me find my peace
Dust is falling on the ground
Book-hunting, but nothing found

Losing hope, found no way
No one hears the words I say
The toughest question in the world
Most brain-twisting ever heard

Teardrops shining in disguise
Others gave me no advice
Overwhelmed, I’m giving up
Wasted time, it was enough

Monday night
I had a dream
The sky turned red
It was calling me
Cardinals
Flying around
Thousand birds
An army of sound

Marching sky
Cheerful night
Whistling
All so bright
A box with a gift
Falling from above
I dream I caught
The pearl of hope
The pearl of hope

Found my name
Found my name
Guarding it with sword and faith
Diamond dust
Sun dogs seen
Winter breeze
Embracing me

Found my name
Found my name
I want to catch the moon
And ride a wave
Heart throbbing
Time to be brave
I’m alive now
Call my name
I’m alive now
Call my name
