Our story is still unwritten
We are miles and miles apart
Sometimes we are caught daydreaming
That dreams do not grow wings and fly beyond the cloud
The world is running fast as we lag behind
Like a canvas falling out of the painting
We do not need to bury our head under the sand
Because the world will always be evolving
Right now the future may not look bright
But you have to push ourself beyond the limit
Never stop fighting irrespective a thousand defeat
As long there is a drop of breath
Every minute of life is precious
It does not matter if you are driving on the service lane
Every decision made should be conscious
As long it gets us to our destination all the same
The future will always remain a mystery
Whichever pathway you choose to go
We have the will power to write our story
When I switch lane, you don't have to follow
Despite we may trend different route
One day I know our story will change
I believe in you, the same way you believe I can succeed
So aim and shoot for the stars no matter the range

It is difficult not to be afraid
Being a constant victim to hostility
I am but a little girl to the outside world
But behind the wall at night, my life is at threat
Until I moved in, my stepdad never had a pet
I became a prey, fighting to catch my breath
Bruises on my ankles, pain on my chest
Each day I am drawn closer to death
At a tender age of eight, I lost my virginity
What is left of me is a shattered fragile bird
Mothers are brutal in my world
Without hesitation, picked a side with my stepdad
Betrayed by my own mother who broked my heart
Suddenly we became strangers instead
Now there is not a star in my cloud
It is much worst than having a bad dream at night
The threat to my life is a constant reality
I lost everything that could make a young girl proud
Bit how could the world turn her back to a child
Who is going to save me, or am I cursed?

Please take me home, dear heart
I do not want us to be far apart
I have got no place else to go tonight
You are all I have left
I do not want the world
To see me for someone that is a destitute
But the night is timid
The stars nowhere to be found
There is no one coming, I get it
Every place I know, I have searched
All I see is a confusing world
Do you think I am out of my mind?
I need you, please hold my hand
And take me with you tonight
I do not want to be lonely and sad
Is it alright if I lie by your side?
