This is one poem that has always kept my spirits high. It was sent to my sister by Agarwal Classes during IIT JEE preparation days way back in 1993. I have lost the cassette now; and would be glad if someone could point me to the audio of this.
HOLD ON TO YOUR DREAMS!!!
Dreams need people like people need dreams,
visions need somebody to make them real it seems.
World is a canvas and you have the power,
to paint your kind of picture, when it comes to be your hour.
Hold on to your dreams, just believe that you can.
Nothings going to stop you, that’s the story of man.
If you should ever lose your faith and stumble in your stride,
remember that the dream you hold is your purpose is your pride.
Never think of losing your place is in the sun,
to have the courage, to have a dream is to have already won.
hold on to your dreams…just believe that you can!!!!
Update: I have the audio with me. Leave a comment on the post and I can mail it across.
Thank you so much for these lyrics… I used to listen to this song during my days of preparing for IITJEE 2… \m/ 1 oussam Song!

Hey guys I do have the cassette with me, I kept it alive for since 1993 ! It was one of my fav inspirational songs of those times sung by Gary Lawyer. I have the cassette in my desk at home in India, hopefully no one has touched it. I do need to ask someone to copy the song to mp3. Once I do that I will pass it to you guys !!!
Cheers and keep the inspiration going

This is an amazing song. 15 years ago, many warm afternoons in Hyderabad, I would listen to this song and keep the faith. The hours were long, the tea was hot, and the math book was thick. The Russian physics book by Berman was like a puzzle book which rewarded and punished frequently. It was so worth it. Few times in life, where you make a giant leap that takes you to a different level altogether and this song helped me make that leap.
