Even if we know that we can't get the moon,
And it is far away,
Do we say that to a dreaming child ?

Even if we know that the sky is very high,
And a tide can never reach it,
Do we say that to a rising tide?

Even if we know that dreams occur only during the sleep,
And there won't be any dreams if we don't sleep,
Do we say that to the eyes to stop sleeping?

Even if we know that a flower is ephemeral,
And it has to eventually wither away,
Do we say that to a plant to stop blooming?

Even if we know that love is filled with thorns,
And they can hurt you,
Do we say that to a hoping heart to stop loving?
