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.
