their eyes and hope in their hearts. The young look back at the old with ideas
of tomorrow, with energy, and spirit. We, the young people of the global

/ X6 l" Y! `' K亲爱的朋友：
   在任何一个国家，社会，团体，邻里之间，或者在家庭中，希望都在孩子们身上。老的一代看着年轻一代一点一点长大，心里对他们充满希望。年轻的一代用未来的想法来看老的一代，充满着力量和生气。这就是我们全球的年轻人。当我从大学毕业以后，我看到了我绵绵无尽的命运中的各种可能。我必须把命运紧紧抓在手中，我从未对我的未来如此兴奋。你，也许和你以后的日子在同一个舞台上:年轻而聪明，努力而继续前进。但是如果你没有自由控制自己命运的权利呢？想想看你每天的日子将会变成怎样的，在这个年轻充满梦想的时节，却要彻底的拒绝梦想。如果你在你的花样季节却拒绝兴奋呢？对于我们大多数来说，这简直难以想象。但当我们真真切切的想想这种生活是怎么来的时候，就会发现有这么多原因;粗心大意的父母，青少年的犯罪，童工，缺少教育，饥饿，战争……这也正好是在我们手边的未来。在这样的环境中，孩子们又怎么可能心怀梦想的成长？所以我来到了你们身边，我的网友，来听到你们的呼声，我请你们都写下几个词或是一个短语，告诉我如果你在这样的情景下被压迫着生活，会怎么想？越简洁越好，我会把你们的话填到词里去，谱成曲，做成我即将在1998年8月发行的一张专辑中。听到你们的想法，我会十分激动的。如果着走小的话，对于我来说，这就是我梦圆的时刻。替年轻一代反映他们的想法，一直是我的目标。现在我有了这种机会，来唱出你们作的词~所以快快回信~唱这首歌，不需要任何条条框框，除了你必须在六月一号之前给我回信。
