Tough Journey

(Melody of "City of Stars" from La La Land)

March 6, 2019 

Written from 4:25 am until 5:12am 

Taipei time 

2 mins before landing 

[Verse 1]

The look in your eyes

Tells me so much more than you realize 

You don’t have to hide 

I’m here right by your side 

I will, I will never let you go 

You can count on that you know 

For I will be your strength in all of this 

[Verse 2]

The birds in the sky 

They keep flying on their path up high 

They’re up in the clouds 

There’s no way they’ll be brought down, their way, they have found 

We will, we will make it through like them 

We’ll face a fight again 

My dear, have no fear, I’ve made it clear 

[Bridge]

With love, we will toughen up

It will be enough, nothing can break us 

We’re almighty 

We will stand on our feet 

Obstacles we will defeat 

Through darkness, the sun will shine 

We’ll be just fine 

We’ve done this many times 

Don’t worry

We’ll see the light at the end 

We’ll be happy again 

[Verse 3]

My dear don’t you cry 

There’s no need for tears in your eyes 

Just hold on tight 

Everything will be alright
