Bend, but don't break

REFLECTION:

There are times that we will fall

We can break into pieces

And no one will know

There are times that we will cry

To stop is hard to try

Sometimes when we’re trouble

We feel lost and we tremble

Sometimes we just want to hide

And escape all the lies

All the pain, the hurt and anger we have

We do things just to cover what’s inside.

We sometimes turn around

Choose a wrong turn

That will make us different

And feel like there’s no turning back

Yes we will fall, and we will be lost

But all you need is to be strong

Stand up, and fight

‘Cause everything will be alright

Life is unfair, yes my dear

Everyone knows, which I think

It makes it fair to all

That is the wonder of what we call – Life.

Fall but after, stand tall

Get lost but find your way

Be mad but don’t be bad

Struggle but still mingle

Leave but still live

Cry but always try

Yes, bend but don’t break

Someone will help you up

He’ll catch you and take

All the weary that you carry

He is there and he’ll tell you

That dear, this is the WAY.
