I want to be somebody in the future Somebody that my parents will be proud of Somebody who stands with dignity and honor I want to become somebody who stands firm with a faith And grips her dreams Making it possible to come true. Take away those walls of pride Of greed Of fame that blocks my way Instead, show me the right path I know it would be a long journey ahead Give me strength Give me courage and love To continue walking down the road I will do my best To walk with faith To clear the way And to leave a mark on each step I trod. When darkness comes And blocks my sight Lighten it up for me When disappointments strip me Cover me with encouragement When pride and greed overcome me Slap me back to reality When I sink and become hopeless Reach out Your hands to me Walk with me, in my long journey And always be beside me To thee, this is my plea My prayer « return. |
