Why can't I dream

Why can't I dream

A song from my new musical, "Reya"

English translation of lyrics:


Why can’t I dream
Just like other little girls
Why can’t I fantasize
Of milk-white skin and golden curls?
I see all around me
an endless green lawn
a golden pavilion
shining in the dawn
I'm looking round about me
at silk, pearls, and jade
I look, but can’t touch,
Cause my mom’s just the maid ...
Oh why can’t I dream
Just like all the kids I see
Why can’t I imagine
a better and more beautiful me?
They tell me I’m no one
This is not my house
Don’t be seen, stay away,
Be as quiet as a mouse,
They act like I’m invisible
Like I really don’t belong
Unless they want to scream at me
for doing something wrong ...
Oh why can’t I dream
Just like all the kids I see
Why can’t I imagine
a better and more beautiful me?
