When darkness spreads everywhere
And there is no smile or hope left
When unbearable pain and sigh
Take away your care and zest
When sky looks dull and dark
And only doubt and fear prevail
Then you must create our own sunshine
And write your own fabulous tale
Life is a unbreakable chain of events
Where future, present and past
All follow one another swiftly
And sometimes catchup fast
Where you hear echoes and voices
And carve memories on your heart
With overwhelming sense of joy
Those are deeply soothing to start
A life of unexpected strength
Or compound grief and fear
So you must try and try again
To hang on to the tender prayers
So when you see darkness glimpse
And dark clouds of doubts at sail
You can create your own sunshine
And write your own fabulous tale.
