I do admit that this is certainly no song for an 84-year-old to be singing. However, this 84-year-old was a 20-year-old way back in 1957, the year in which this song got released and became popular. It appealed to that age group, and was quite a hit at the parties and picnics that he and his friends attended. Needles to say, he was always called upon to sing, and he always obliged.

Please Come Home

Here's a song written, arranged and recorded by Haydn Dias for a song contest to mark the Bicentenary year of the birth of Don Bosco.

Singers (from L to R): Justin D'Souza, Aaron Varghese, James Rogers, Joel D'souza, Clarence Fernandes and Austin Fernandes (St. Dominic Savio Boys' Home, 2015-16)

Lyrics:
Dreams do come true
When the dreamer is someone like you
My life you have changed
‘Cause you saw how I could be; not as I am

We thank our loving God for giving us Don Bosco
It was two hundred years ago that he came
To be with the young and work for their brighter future
Now our lives will never be the same

There are days when everything seems to go against me
Then I look up to you for guidance and advice
I can feel your gentle hand resting on my shoulder
And I cannot describe the peace I feel inside

I too have a dream of serving many needy youngsters
But this world and its temptations block my way
Then I hear you say “Son, keep the dream alive,
Know that you might follow me some day” 


Dreams Do Come True

Let's Get Together
==============

Chorus:
Let’s get together now and forever as one family
We are young, full of life and energy
Lord touch our hearts with the gentleness of Your love
Make us shining examples of Your love and peace
That we may reach out to Christchurch
(That we may reach out to Christchurch, Amen!)

Verse:
Use us we pray Lord; we are Your servants
Use all our gifts, Lord, which You Yourself have given
Open our hearts Lord, and touch our minds too
Make us grow in love, that we may serve Your people

Rap:
We make the Bible come alive; it’s Word becomes our action
Reaching out to those around brings us much satisfaction
In faith and hope and love we grow a little bit every day
We are good friends and that is why you will hear us say
