Everytime you feel like you cannot go on

You feel so lost
That you’r so alone
All you is see is night
And darkness all around
You feel so helpless
You can`t see which way to go
Corrus: Don`t despair and never loose hope

Cause Allah is always by your side

Reff. Insya Allah 2x
Insya Allah you`ll find your way
Everytime you can make one more mistake

You feel you can`t repent

And that its way too late
Your`re so confused
Wrong decisions you have made
Haunt your mind and your heart is full of shame
Back to Corrus
Back to Reff.
