Can I befriend you hope?
When my world is shattered
And my prayers is not much saving
When pessimism is the only way
Though I  confide in the ways of God

Can I befriend you hope?
When Nanny got me saying
You harvest what you planted
I'm thinking the plantation of happiness
I should have landed

Can I befriend you hope?
When all my thoughts assembled in one
One of giving up the rest of the sum
Coming up with a soothing serum
Looking at the mirror like a reckless ***

Can I befriend you hope?
Just in case my faith elope
Pulling inside like a jump rope
Inhibiting a familiar feeling
Or when I need something to hold on to.
