Promise Me

Promise me 
The jungle remains the same 
So it so hard to see you change
Responsibilities has turn you into a stranger
You are not who you use to be any more 
I understand you are the first daughter
All other siblings looking up to you 
You are like a woman like a man 
Cos the responsibilities on your neck
Is drawing you down the strange lane 
But you got to hold on
I know you are a fighter 
Yes you can't go down with this pressure
Out there in the street is not friendly
So promise me you will be fine 
Promise me you will not lose your ways 
Promise me I will see you again 



Promise me 
She said 
It can't be easy all the time 
But we can always be who we are 
With all this pressures of needs 
Out here on the jungle 
There is no mercy nor pity 
If you are not in line 
Here you will be way out of touch 
Yet I remember I promised
My love ones 
That I will always be fine out here 
I vividly remember mama prayers 
So I will never give up 
Despite the hardship in the jungle
I will always for mama keep my soul heathy
So I promise you will see me again 
I promise you I won't lose my way 
I will always fine my way home 
Peacefully ??
