I Stand Tall Like a Bamboo Tree

I stand tall like a bamboo tree, Strong winds make my body to sway, Storm makes me blown away, But I still stand like a bamboo tree. Trials, problems that I faced everyday, I have the strength to pursue it anyway, The dreams that I have in mind, Though it’s simple but it's one of a kind. Insults, negative people may put me down, On my head, I still have my precious crown, God gave me the courage to be strong, Like a bamboo tree it sways bravely. I stand tall and firm with my decision, To be successful because of my determination, No one can destroy my aim in life, I tell you my friend, Like a bamboo tree I survived, I can till the end.
