When nothing works out right no matter how hard you try. When you reach your end, and find you have to go another mile…. Don’t you give up on yourself Keep believing in the Lord And everything will be alright… CHORUS Never give up, never give in Keep holding on, always believing 2× That God’s not a man, that he will lie Whatever he says, he’s gonna do it.. 2× No matter how many times you fall, You can always rise. Doesn’t matter how dark it gets, the sun will always shine. When you’re feeling so sad, just know that, Joy comes in the morning… When you feel like giving up, just hold on to your dreams.. And everything will be alright. Trust him, believe him Hold on, your dreams will come true

Dorm life was a conglomerate of eerie incidents that left an indelible mark on our young minds. In a hostel housing up to 70 students, both juniors and seniors, the nights were often draped in an unsettling cloak of fear and uncertainty. Strange occurrences became a norm.
