The cliché phrase "The universe is inside of us" I believe, so does the world;
We are part of it and indeed, its value is more than a gold
As a citizen, we're like the stars in the sky; a creature from the sea
But our purpose in here are somehow forgotten, I wish eyes could open in able to see

We were given the chance to be served as stewards of God
We were blinded by unessential stuff, especially those we never had
As a citizen, opportunities were rampant but timing is off
That's why mostly of us became hopeless, lost, and soft

As a citizen, we should not be afraid to voice out our thoughts
When we express, that's what it means to be a citizen; victory has been sought
As a citizen, what really matters are the value, kindness, equality and respect
Don't be bothered by what others will say because it's not a sin for being imperfect

We should take ignorance, intolerance, and misbehavior as a lesson
Educate someone for them to be open in the world and be one of the citizens with purpose
Look at the bigger picture, do not stereotype by knowing a one-sided story
Be involve in the wider frame, challenge yourself— lift it up even if it's too heavy

Citizen means humanity, integrity, and modesty
Acquiring one of those has something to do with your perspective and positivity
Citizen means hope and life; world will be nothing, it won't be a big dome
Above all, citizen is us, so with that, in this world we are the real home.
