By Zahra Arshad


Know where you belong

Know in your heart

Know right from wrong

Know yourself


This feeling doesn’t feel right to me

A place to stay

Always feeling never ending

A place to go

My never ending memory

A place to run

A perfect melody for my song

A place to fly


If I’m making a wrong choice

Will you be there to help me choose?

If I’m crying

Will you help me dry these tears?


Knowing I can lean on you

Have you waiting

Have someone watching over me

Someone always there waiting for me


This feeling doesn’t feel right to me

A place to stay

Always feeling never ending

A place to go

My never ending memory

A place to run

A perfect melody for my song

A place to fly


Be nice to know

Who stands by me?

Be nice to know

Who likes me so?
