Find your love –Fiona Fung

Chorus
I`ll be ok, go find your love today,
Searching everywhere,
A lot of sunshine`s waiting for you.
Don`t be afraid,
You`ll find your love one day,
Tell me that you do your best for me,
I believe in your faith.

I can see, a burning flame,
It is your future waiting for you.
Hold my hands, and give me your word,
Believe in what you do and you will be ok.
