Analysis of Be Strong
Fadeelah Abrahams 1979 (Western Cape)
A new day
A clean slate
It is not to late
An opportunity
To promote unity
You can make a change
Something new to embrace
Using God's word as a base
A house is only as good as the strength of its foundation
Let that be your motivation
Life is tough
I know it can be rough
There are potholes along the road
We need to be bold
If life knocks you down
Get up and get rid of that frown
Replace it with a smile
It is just another trial
It will pass by
Resilience is the key
For you and me
You have so much to be grateful for
Please don't ignore
God led this life before
Let He guide you
And let your faith be restored
