The Search

THE SEARCH In and out the bamboo forest Will you be my partner? Will you be my cry on shoulder When my world falls apart Will you be my hope When my dreams come crashing? Will you think am cute When my face is all burnt out? Will you carry me away When my legs give way? Will you make me laugh When nothing else makes sense? Will you pray for me When my faith dries up Will you bury me When my work here is done? Oh tell me now Or just send me on my way In and out the bamboo forest Till I find a worthy partner.
