You are still strong (You are still strong)

Let pain be gracious (Love will soon come)

But we are hiding in a safer place

That you make me smile, please stay for a while now

Just take your time, wherever you go

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I think I saw you

Neverland - Zendaya

Whenever I was frightened or ever felt alone

I turned to the night sky at a star I call my own

Somewhere I could run to, just across the Milky Way

If you like, I could take you

It's just a lightyear and a day

We can sail away tonight on a sea of pure moonlight

We can navigate the stars to bring us back home

In a place so far away

We'll be young, that's how we'll stay

Every wish is our command

When we find ourselves in Never, Neverland

Stay - Blackpink

You leave scars in my heart so easily with harsh words

Without even saying sorry, I comfort myself again

I'm always anxious if you're gonna leave me today

I just want you to stay

In your expressionless face that's getting more dull, oh-oh

I whisper to the mirror, let's slowly let this go, whoa-oh

You take me for granted, but that's you

But still, stay, stay, stay with me

The immensely popular girl group Blackpink is famous for their dance hits but this is a slower song that is mellow and uplifting. The song is sung in Korean with a few lines of English inserted in the verses. Even if you don't understand the lyrics, you won't help but feel comforted.
