Hope



Never forsake me, never betray me.
You are a fuel; I am a car.
I am a driver you are a steering
Come rain, cyclone and storms!
Be by my side, live in me, perish with me

Journey is still long full of curves
Slow me down when I seem to speed up
Be my umbrella when it rains cats and dogs
Be the torch in darkest time of my life
Be by my side, live in me, perish with me

Be my shield on the jungle of fierce wild animals
Be the map give me direction to my destination.
Be the overflowing river when I am in the desert.
Be by my side, live in me, perish with me
