I am on a journey,
Journey to the land full of money,
Not ready to pass through any gory;
But, I want to shine in glory.
Can you help me?
I'm on a mission,
In search of a readymade mansion,
Not ready to lift a finger;
But, I want to live in luxury.
Can you help me?
I'm on a journey,
to the land of fulfilment of destiny,
Not ready to fight;
But I want to fly.
Will you help me?
I'm on a journey,
To the land of success,
Not ready to toil;
But I want to soar.
Can you help me?
I am on a journey,
To the land of examination success,
But, I am not ready, to burn the midnight candles;
Yet, I want to blow many candles.
I need your help!
I am on a journey,
To becoming a spiritual giant,
I am not ready to even glance at the cross;
But, I want to be spiritually gallant.
Can you help me?
I'm on a journey,
I want to earn big salaries/ wages!
Not ready to pay a dime,
Even, learning to me, is a waste of time.
Can you help me?
So, in the course of my journey,
I went to my teacher.
Teacher!
How do I shine in glory,
Without passing through any gory?
He said, "student, you have work to do!"
I left him and went to my coach.
Coach!
How do I earn big wages,
Without wasting time;
And without paying a dime?
He said " scholar! You have work to do!"
I left him and went to my pastor,
I know my pastor is nice and spiritual, he can help me without me lifting a finger!
I said.
" Pastor, I want to be a spiritual giant,
Not ready to glance at the cross;
But I want to be a gallant.
He said" Son, you have work to do!"
Friends! You're my last hope.
I hope, I really hope you will give a different answer.
I want to be a success,
Without being scoured,
Without a scar;
I want to be a star.
Will you help me?
Listen up dear!
You have work to do!
You have work to do!
You have work to do!
You have to work it out yourself!
You have to make it work!
There is no star without a scar!
No mark, no rank!
No gory, no glory!
No work, no worth!
No value, no money!
No price, no prize!
Life is give and take!
What you give, you collect!
What you sow, you reap!
For a pot to eat that sumptuous meal, it has to endure the pain of the burning fire!
For gold to shine brighter and it's beauty be seen and admired, it has to pass through the furnace!
You're completely responsible for everything!
You were not born with a silver spoon?
Why not get a golden spoon for yourself?
Don't sow sugar and except to reap salt!
Don't expect rice, when you only sow cassava!
Don't expect big results, when you sow little effort!
Go do the work!
So you would have the desired result!
