Laila, what does it takes to be a strong woman?
Lying on my bed, my eyes wet with tears
I wonder how I am going to finish this story.
Pages yet unwritten, goals immature…
And so fast I am losing my breath.
Step by step life is counted
Gradually a mountain is climbed
But so fast I am losing my breath.
Laila what does it takes to be a strong woman?
Because I am ready to take the bull by the horns
I am ready to climb the hills, this is my vision
I just need me to see it.
A time comes in a lifetime, when you see pain staring you right in the eye.
A time when the future appears blurry and uncertain.
A time when loved ones give up on you…
And alone you stroll on the road of life, confused and devastated.
Laila, I am slowly losing me.
