-Lyric
I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head saying,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but

And I,

I choose ''The meaning of clothes''.This episode is mainly about the clothes, in Indian subcontinent, the tradition clothes- saris, Queen Mary says sari encircle the waist, are often pleated and than swept across the upper body with folds and fabric draped over the shoulder or veiling the head, and the sari makes her feel safe.
