On a cool, starry summer night
 I slumber on my fluffy bed
As the ray of the sky’s eye
 Shines upon my tired body
My soul goes to the world of dreams
 And see spectres staring at me
One of them speaks, saying,
 “I’m dead, you’re alive; change your life,”
Asking in a low voice why,
 They said, “Once you’re done, no more.”
My soul shivers at that thought of
 Having no chance to fix one life
I rise up to the real world
 And eat food, greeting “Morning!”
Realizing that there’s only
 One chance for me to do it right
Saying my thanks, I go on
 To give praise for a fruitful life
I am now happy to do good
 For I know I have one more chance!
