I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer,
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all--the poor--the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble2, for I know my weakness;
I would look up--and live--and love--and lift.
我要真诚，因为有人信赖我；
我要纯洁，因为有人关爱我；
我要坚强，因为我要经受无数磨难；
我要勇敢，因为我要面临严峻挑战。
我要广交朋友――和穷人及缺乏朋友的人；
我要多做贡献，不计较有无回报；
我要谦虚谨慎，自知有许多不足；
我要鼓起勇气去生活去爱，求取进步。
