In a world of concrete feelings
Trying to find his own spirit
Up through that hardness, he will rise
~
Amidst the rancor, war, and hate
The empty stares and the rudeness
In a world of concrete feelings
~
Seeking connection that is true
Working for peace with all his heart
Trying to find his own spirit
~
Despite all this, he will survive
Carry his truth within the world
Up through the hardness, he will rise
~
Determination!

O! Dear …I danced while reading these lines, so utopi’esque despite clearly non-preferred circumstances faced by the protaganist : very coming of age-like …love.
