I am the child The entire world awaits my arrival All the earth watches with interest To see what I shall become Civilization hangs in the balance For what I am, the world of Tomorrow I am the child I have come into the world, about Which I know nothing Why i came I knew not; How I came I know not, I am curious; I am interested. I am the child You hold in your hands my destiny You determine largely, whether I shall succeed or fail Give me, I pray you, those things That makes for happiness and peace Train me, I beg you, so that I may Be a blessing to the world Our world of hope « return. |
