The Golden Melody Award winner collaborated with fellow Christian and Taiwanese singer-guitarist Wing to send a message of hope, faith, and courage. Wrapping up the song is Lin assuring the victims and their families that Jesus will ease their suffering and help them through difficulties.
"It will be fine. It will be fine. Don't give up easily. Dreams will still be shining, waiting for you to rewrite the stories. . . I care for you, I pray for you," Lin sang, as quoted by Focus Taiwan.
According to Jenny Hung, pastor at the New Life Church in Taipei, the song is one of way communicating with the victims who are not able to talk. With the aim to encourage the injured through prayer and music, Hung became one of those who figured in making the song possible. She also called on to the families to download and play the song to their injured loved ones. Hung believes that the music will serve as a driving force for recovery.
On Tuesday, other singers have expressed their support by sending recorded voice messages to the victims, Focus Taiwan reported. Families and friends turned to these celebrities to give inspiration amid the suffering of their beloved. Among them were C-Pop Queen Jolin Tsai and fellow Taiwanese singer Show Lo. Tsai immediately responded to the request of a mother whose 19-year-old son Liu Chih-wei suffered from third-degree burns across 90 percent of his body.
"Dear Chih-wei, I'm your cheering team Jolin. . . You think about the good things, and just don't think about giving up. So you must never give up your precious life," Tsai told Liu.
Unfortunately, early in the morning of July 2, Liu succumbed to his injuries. He is the second casualty of the tragic fire, Yahoo! reported. Liu was an aspiring fashion designer at the College of Maritime Technology in Taipei.
